SUnday morning. 30 muntes. 8223m. <br />
<br />
Gutted, was setting myserlf up for a udge at my PB, which I thought was 2208. It was, before I beat it a few months back, with 2257.  So when i finished though i had set a new time. <br />
<br />
Did the 7 hard out strokes every mon ute thing again, but ran out of puff with 6 minutes to go, so just rowed at the average needed to reach 8208, which was about 1:50. With a minute to go, dropped too 1:45 or so, so as to beat the time. So probably would have beaten my REAL PB, had i known what it is. Fuck it is annoying to row for that long, and have 'everything under control', and beat your record, but be aiming at the wrong time.<br />
<br />
Ahh well, always next week. -
INJURY ALERT: During weights on sunday morning, deadlifts, bad form, lower back twinge. bloody sore sunday night, just sore tonight, and will be gone tomorrow. An old injury that I've had before, just a little bit of time. The bad form though, that pisses me off - but self inflicted. Don't need great form when lifting 60kg in the DL. Upped it to 80, and in the last set, ping on rep 8. Souloution to problem, front row style, I will out more weight on, soI HAVE to use correct form just to get the tin off the farking ground!!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, was able to row today, having to keep back nice and straight, which is a good thing.<br />
<br />
6000m  23:17.6m<br />
<br />
So kids - be careful out there - FORM is where it is at!! -
Yes good advice Bart - I'd also like to add that people really need to watch their backs as they get older. I had a twinge last week because I slept with the covers off and the window open - cold air and sleeping crooked can fuck you up faster than you think.<br />
<br />
Also when working out, keep the back covered - long t-shirt or even singlet is always good, and a weightlifters belt if you can get one. Fuck your back up and often its for life. -
morning row: 7000m 26.59.9<br />
<br />
have now rowed 5,461,769m in total, since getting rowing machine on 30th April, 2003. So almost owned if for 3 years now.<br />
<br />
this season, which ends May 1, have thus far rowed 1,873,001m, which is a daily average of 5,525m. An average for the actual days rowed, of 9,048m.<br />
<br />
most metres in a week 95,500. Hard bloody work that, but think I'll build up for a crack at breaking 100,000 soon. Have to row twice a day for that for sure, although might start doing some long slow distances, 10,000m + rows, just for a change of pace and scenery, and to 'schock' the body, getting used to these 'middle' distances of 5000-8000 metres. -

just got a chill down down the spine when I read that Bart...it's what our rowing coach used to say to us at school. Spooky! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Coastie - if ever we see a cactus wearing a condom as your avatar, we'll know you've taken that just a BIT too far <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Sunday evening:<br />
<br />
Row 20 minutes  5402 metres<br />
Weights - bench press, incline press, shoulder press, curls, tricep pushdowns, french press, clean and press, leg press, lat pulldowns.<br />
Swim to finish, recoment that if you can - just feels good to stetch out muscles etc!<br />
<br />
Also recoement not spanking yourself silly on rowing machine before weights, as I HAD been doing. Weights much more enjoyable when you can still see, thanks to not being oxygen starved!!<br />
<br />
Monday morning.<br />
Row 20 monutes  5039 metres.
