Crappy gym erg 30r20

 Just some meters while my son had his swimming lesson on the crappy erg in the gym 

30r20 TT Open HR

 Tired tonight, busy weekend sorting garden Saturday and Sunday full on, life stresses of cars not working, work etc takes it toll... still headed off with a pace of 1:51.7 to beat from the last TT had it in my head to set off sub 1:50 pace at the start, held that for 12 minutes then it bit, a few head wobbles, got myself past the HD demons and finished hard, beat the target but not a SB

Finally completed antibiotics today after getting another 3 days worth so thats good, finger still bleeding through though 😆

August 2025 C2CTC 8by5000m 2r

 So figured I had enough time to squeeze this in at lunchtime, just, but only time for a 1k warm up. Decided 1:40 pace should be manageable, went slightly quicker on the first rep so held onto that, dropped it on the 7th then opened up on the 8th, haven't done this session for years  😀 in fact I used to do it with 1:30r so found the 2min a bit boring. Still job done and happy to get a time up for paddypower and a marker for myself. Oh yes, finger still hasn't healed, leg has cellulitis and my left shoulder is a bit knackered 😆 

30r20 75% HRR on the dodgy gym rower

 Tonight so I took my son to his swimming lessons and then up to the gym, for a change there was a guy on the one and only rower..  as usual they lasted only 5 minutes so then on I popped after weighting it down etc drag is about 100 ... so not great but got stuck in and pleased with the result, less movement for the rower may have helped.

30r20 Open HR

 So Monday is 30r20 open HR, nasty, especially when tired 😆 managed to open quite well, grinded through the middle and emerged to save the SB so not delighted but happy enough. Onwards and upwards 

30r20 HRR 75%

 An easy one tonight, haven't had a chance to erg since Wednesday, busy with life, leg still sore and even managed to slice through the tip of my left finger tonight, only about 60% so hoping it will glue itself back on 😆 

September 17th row, hard 30r20 

30r20 70% Tis but a scratch

 So slight accident today while taking down a shed, gust of wind combined with slippery surface and one hand holding a reciprocating saw meant I had what I described as a old man injury.. ye I fell over and scraped my leg, well shin, along the corner of a concrete slab, so ye that brought forward a few choice words... 😆  so this evening just a gentle paddle to keep it going 30r20 70% HRR 

A photo of the scratch is in the blog in case you're interested 😆
