Journey of a recreational vet triathlete, GigRower & adventure sport enthusiast and amateur photographer
imputed the above interesting magnificent seven interval into the PM5. However missed out the rest period after 400m, so pace a little out but pleased 😃 as times are coming down to below 2min/500m in places. Last 100 m in particular due to better technique on the machine.
Nice gig training gig row with CGC Supervets team with a fill in for Martin with Pete’s son. Cox : Tim, 6: Ted, 5: Jon, 4: Gary, 3: Pete, 2: Me, 1: Andy. Lovely sunny day with a slight easterly wind. Rowed out of the Falmouth harbour into more choppy seas. Then did two full race practice with starts that simulated the Scillies Championship race distances. That is St Agnes – around 3km and Nut Rock around 2.2km. Good crew practice for Scillies Gig Championship with the mini Scillies at Helford with the full crew and Sophie as Cox. No photos due to too busy rowing😅
Nice 😊 😎 gig men’s crew row towards the Mount. Lots of technique and racing training. Cox: Julie, 6: Steve, 5: Me, 4: Chris, 3: Jonny, 2: Kevin and 1 Claire. Beautiful sunny day with a little bit of chop.
Nice couple of Concept2 RowErg training sessions of just over 2600m. Bringing the times down with better breathing 😮💨. Can’t wait to get back on the water 🚣♀️ tomorrow morning as weather looks better for a good crew row. Followed this session with several strength 💪 exercises with dumbbells and barbell weights for legs, core, arms etc. Two weeks to the Gig World Championships in the Scillies
With the weather wind 💨 🌧️ being awful decided on playing on the Concept2 Ergrow with a few interval sets starting with 8 x 30 seconds intervals and one called the magnificent 7 starting with 700m with 70sec rest then 600m with 60 sec rest, the 500m with 50sec rest, then 400m with 40sec rest, then 300m with 30sec rest, then 200m with 20 sec rest then 100m to finish. Fun 🤩 one to do. Total training done was 4916 which is great to top up my fitness for the Scillies and bringing down times on the PM5. Want to get well below well 2 minutes/500m on the PM5 by improving my technique on the Concept2. I followed this with around 20 minutes strength training with weights.
Easter 🐣 Men’s crew training with fill ins. Cox: Wendy, 6:Steve, 5: Me, 4: Jonny, 3: Alison, 2: Emma, 1: Julie. Sunny 😎 but breezy day. Plenty of technique training on length of stroke and timing. Went out of the harbour and very breezy but not too choppy.
on a beautiful sunny 😎 Good Friday, a lovely technical training row with reasonably calm waters. Practicing starts, racing turns and homing the stroke timing and length for racing. Cox: Julie, 6:Steve, 5: Me, 4: Jonny, 3: Sarah 2: Sara, 1: Jo .
Nice hilly 10K ride on above Zwift course. Started off flat then went into climbs.
Quick Row Erg on concept2 to warm up for virtual WattBike ride
Training session with CGC Super-vets in Falmouth harbour. Lots of racing start practice with 3 minute race sessions in and out of harbour. The sea was choppy outside the harbour which was fun 🤩. Cox: Emily, 6: Lynette, 5: Jon, 4: Gary, 3: Pete, 2: Me, 1: Gary. However about 10 minutes is missing due to accidentally pushing the pause button ☹️
