Journey of a recreational vet triathlete, GigRower & adventure sport enthusiast and amateur photographer
A 54 minute mixed crew row in slightly choppy seas covering just over 5km. Quite nice morning but as we came out of the harbour a little choppy. Cox: James, 6: Jem, 5: Trev, 4: Felix, 3: Tom, 2: Jayne, 1: Me. See the out and back route below which was easier coming back
A WattBike ride of almost 10km ride on the MyWhoosh Perth City route. Tried this platform for the first time which to me was a bit like Zwift but free which is great for individuals starting out on indoor cycling. Fulgaz is great for actual videos but does not have the competitor aspect to it. Will look at other routes and make a judgement. So tried Zwift, Rouvey. Fulgaz and Rouvey which all have there pros and cons. However the route followed does seem to be an actual route although a bit gamey.
A starter swim at PZ Leisure Centre to improve technique. Very slow and need swim drills and coaching to improve overall body position, balance, roll and control. Also improve breathing, catch and pull
On 4th November went to London with Jacqueline on Train from Penzance to Waterloo to meet up with my Felsted school friends from Windsor House – Graham and Mark for a catch up after over 50 years. Met in the Lamb and Flag followed by a nice meal at Parsons a fish restaurant.
On 5th November had an meeting near Hatton Garden followed by a walk and shopping in Oxford Street in the evening met up with our friend Viv with some fizz in her brother’s apartment overlooking the London Eye followed by a Lebanese meal nearby.
On my birthday on 6th November went to the Walky Talky building or sky view, however needed to book 3 weeks before! Went onto the Battersea Power to have a walk around. After took the Uber Boat back to accommodation which was a lot more comfortable to see the views along the Thames than The Great River Race that I did a few years back with PNPGC. Arrived back at the London Eye near the accommodation in Waterloo
Went back to accommodation to freshen up before going out for a quick pre- theatre meal before going to St Martin’s Theatre to watch the Agatha Christies ‘Mousetrap’ which was great and reminded our trip to Loughborough for our murder mystery dinner on a steam train outlined earlier.
On 7th November took train back to Penzance’s.
Good solid ride around Vegas as I remember it 25 years ago. Also a half marathon running 🏃 event takes place on this route.
This 5km warm up endurance row was followed by a strength and core session
Nice route in the Lot valley in France 🇫🇷. Reminds me of the rides I did in the Var several years ago
Quick 2km warm up row followed by an extensive strength session with core and stretching as follows:
plenty of stretching on back, hamstrings, ankles, neck, arms after a number of core exercises in addition to the plank and crunches
Nice fast WattBike ride on the Fulgaz Dutch route through the countryside and into towns. After that did a short core and strength session on the Garmin app but trying to operate it correctly
A short row on the RowErg following different strokes rates rates with slower warm ups and cool 😎 downs. This was followed by a core and strength session.
