Row class, row coach, finally a row

 Last Thursday I travelled to Dublin for work, that night I headed to Greystones to do a class with an old row friend, Mike Creamer at Community Rowing - really enjoyed it and got very very sweaty 😆 

Friday after work I headed to a Concept2 certified instructor course held by Niall O'Toole of Crew Class which was held over the Friday and Saturday with 10 other coaches, concept2 enthusiasts from around Ireland, wonderful course and fun to boot, wanted to try and pick up a few things for my own technique and development, which I now want to put into practice. 

That leads me to tonight, was going to row last night when the son had his swimming class, but the machine has been taken away to get fixed, hopefully it is... so tonight I jumped on late and wanted to check something on my own stroke technique so settled into a 30r20,  went well, away tomorrow and Friday with work so hopefully they have a c2 at the hotel gym...

World Rowing Virtual Series Heartbeat 8by1min

 So lunchtime in work I fancied a bite at the 8by1min with 1min rest, flying the Irish flag I thought it would be a good idea to go after a rep total of dirty tree and a turd aka 333m 😆 20 seconds into rep two brain got distracted, so in order to save something I decided to complete the session and row every other split ie 1, 3, 5 and 7 while hitting the first 20seconds of the 2, 4, 6 and 8th - but at the end I decided to pop the last one also. So, now I've laid out my target, I'm going to have to complete it in the next two weeks... wish me luck 

And yes, I should really aim for a spm of dirty tree... (33)
