3by10r20 [2:30] - tough nut
Target was 1:44.1 or faster and I managed to crack it - first one came in nicely so followed it's pace for the second and third - about two minutes left on the final rep and I pushed on a little - sweat fest

AM 52r20 70% HRR - PM 3by10r20 2:30r
52 minutes r20 70% HRR - didn't have time to get the hour done as had a meeting at 9am (stupid time to have a meeting) - hands feeling it from breaking on new handle on the erg yesterday at home
Lunchtime I looked at doing 3by10min on 2:30 rest with a target of seasons best 30r20 plus 0.5 so 1:43.6 is the best 30r20 I've done since turning 40 - was on Oct 10th and used that as baseline I was going to target 1:43.9 (I could actually go 1:44.0 or even 1:44.1 at a push but I think I'm stronger than 1:43.6) set off on the first rep and found I was going a little better so stuck with it. On the second rep I was reminded of the nose/throat infection I have at the moment - as was the floor, my shirt, shorts, the erg rail and monitor - green for paddies day! lol the last rep i was just gunning for my original target - and was I blowing at the end!!

3by10m 2r Variable
This morning I got in work early enough to knock through a 60min row - as I pulled into the car park the mrs text to say she was ill - so that hour has now gone so I can go home early - I was still aiming t to row at lunchtime - can't leave earlier than 4:30 as havre a meeting for a new project I'm working on so unless it's a emergency I need to be in work for that before you think I'm heartless lol
Also was up at 2am with Lilly till 3:30am so not exactly firing on all cylinders today ZZZzzzz.... still training to be done - the 3by10 variable session seemed like a good fit for lunchtime - no warm up (no time) so straight into it -
3x10' (2:00) 65 % incl 1' 2k +1' 2k-4 (target 1:31.0/1:27.0)
1' 1:30.9 r31 + 1' 1:26.9 r33
1' 1:30.9 r32 + 1' 1:26.9 r34
1' 1:30.9 r32 + 1' 1:26.9 r34
found myself bouncing around a little in the first one and it was hard to settle all the way through the piece - dry mouth and I'm hoping that it's just from tiredness and not a bug from the house as both the baby and wife are sick ....
