CAMTRIER

A nice steady row to Mousehole on a very hot day, Cox; Wendy, 6:Shelley, 5:Jem, 4:Steve, 3: James, 2: Me, 1: Trev.

Forgot to start watch the row over which was 6.84km , 57 minutes, 489 cals in the new gig and rowed against St Ives which was longer as we went to see the dolphins which were great. Also saw the paddle boat as we rowed, so a good day

The row back was 5.96km, 46mins, 374cals, 22 rpm, and 4.37/500 After the row and packed away the gigs we went to the Longboat for a few drinks

A nice 9.53 km ride of the Giro d’Italia course as follows:

After a day back did a 3.5km EXR row on the Henley Course

Followed this with a strength exercise as follows:

Quick week trip to Ireland to visit Betty’s Cottage and catching up with Jac’s Cousins and visiting a few places such as Do Castle

Also did a walk on our favourite beach on the odd day when it was not raining

The weather was bad and did a lot reading and finished madmen or heroes and the Chemist which was great as had no time in Barbados or Australia

In remembrance of my dear Fudgey Boy that died last year when I attended the World Gig Rowing Championships with is also happening this year but not attending as away too much and therefore not training

Met up with Fran for a morning swim at Trvassack Lake. Chilly swim in the lake 15C. Did 22mins and just over 500 metres at a slow speed of 4.23/100 and 182 cals. Afterwards had a nice brunch in the cafe and a catch up with my daughter

On the way back saw some baby geese following their mother which was cute,

At the start of May attended another Masters swim training session with a number of technique sets 1075 metres, 33mins 2.32/100 and 288 cals. Good session and improved as got used to following the sets and lane swimming. Joined the slower group that helped

Good morning having a go at hitting golf balls at the driving range with some coaching from David and afterwards went for a coffee and cake in Hayle.

Attended a Master’s session and completed 1075 metres of technique training sets. Issue with sinking legs and need to do further sessions to improve this in using swim buoy and flippers. 282 calls burnt and average of 3,22/100m which needs to be improved but also need to get into the different sets and lane swimming

Walked down the harbour to join the crew for a leisurely Sunday social row around Mount’s Bay. Cox: Steve Mullen, 6:Jo, 5:Jim, 4:Ant, 3: Wendy, 2: Annie, 1: Me. Good to be back in the gig for a 5km 58 minute row.
