Early early start - scar healing well
So got up very very early today in order to walk the dogs - grab quick breakfast - and drive to work to do a 30 minute row - aimed at r22 and at the start wasn't sure how to pace it - started hard and got sub 1:50 split and then as the HR creeped up I decided on targeting 80% HRR (160) have to say it was bloody tough in comparison to my best and the pace - but got through it and that's all that's needed sometimes. HR dipped in the middle and I thought my v8 had come back on line - alas I think it was a low battery ... on the strap not mine.

enough rest - 30r22 @70% HRR
Well took yesterday as rest day after the 100k so back training this morning before court - kept it light - hands a little sore but butt cheeks are worse! :lol: the AIO creased during the row under the crease on my left cheek and took the skin with it.

Recovery row post 100k - 30@22 HRR 70%
Post 100k (see Saturday’s blog) “recovery” row today which I decided on a 30@22 HRR 70% (146bpm) fluffy but still a little bite in it to keep me interested. Wasn’t sure what would happen body wise to be honest – no major problems that have surfaced – knees a little sore – back a little aching – small skin loss on one finger – I suppose the main thing is the groin strain in the right leg (probably brought about by the body compensating for the knee on Saturday) it’s sore enough but not so bad that I think training would make it worse.
To that end I set of on a 1k warm up – that brought to attention the butt skin loss – well scar/scab that had to me removed before I could row and then off I set on the 30r22 – after a while I noticed the breathing was heavy on the chest – but put that down to the body protesting – since when did I ever pay attention to that though.
So cracked on and lined up 8200m – failed by a meter even by breaking HR cap by 3bpm in the last minute – still that didn’t hurt as much as the shower after when the water hit the open butt scars !!
