morning:Â 6000Â 23:15.5Â Â -Â get up and go returned a little, only a fresh corpse today... -
Thursday<br />
5000m 19:17.1 and 40 minutes 10,710m<br />
<br />
Friday<br />
10,000 - 36:40.0 which was a new PB, by accident, didn't know, just a good hard row that went right. 40 seconds over 10 thousand metres doesn't sound like much to get down to 36 minutes, but it is!! -

Strong work Barty!<br />
<br />
You'll be in the Olympics next!<br />

Saw James Cracknell wandering around at the tri Mrs Luigi was competing in last week. He's a tall fucker - must be good having those big long levers working the oars. -
Monday.<br />
30 minutes 8384m A new PB, just 6m to go to crack the 8400, that's the next goal.<br />
<br />
evening 4 x 500m rows. first two just warmups, in 1:58 and 1:54. Next two were 500m PB attempts, but both ran out of gas after 250m at 1:28 and 1:26 rate (with different settings). Then just finished the rows easing home in 1:48 and 1:43. Amazing how quick the wheels fall off when you haven't been doing much 'pace rowing'!!<br />
<br />
Must work on this, my old PB for this distance from a few years back 1:28, so a target to hit... -

That's impressive! The lowest split I've seen on my machine is 1:31 but I can't hold it for any decent period of time. Not sure about my 500m time, I reckon I could do it in under 1:50 though.. I will see later on today <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> -
is good fun some lower splits sprint work for a change.<br />
<br />
I have joined an on line rowing team through the concept 2 website, some bloke emailed and asked me to join. Anyway, there are some real rowing maniacs out there. I have almost cracker 600,000 metres for the season in 72 odd days or whatever it is. But get this, the top guy in our 'team' has rowed, wait for it... <br />
<br />
4.2 MILLION metres, ans is aiming for 20 million for the season. This bloke is 69 and all!!<br />
<br />
but is way cool having a few memeber to challenge and times to beat - I have the best time over 6k, otherwise in the top few with most distances. 2 second out on the 500m challenges, hence the attempts tonight!! -
yeah, I am in line for about 3 mil, and that is 8500 odd a day on average, something lie that. A genuine freak for sure!!<br />
<br />
this morning - Tuesday. did 2 mile splits. 1609 metres. First one, warm up 6:07.6/ Second one, hard out. 5:41.3. Puts me third place for the 'Free Spirits' or so. just 25 odd seconds off the pace -
MvJ loves to hear of a new PB. Good work Bartman. How's the weight?
-
big day at the oars today, did a 6000m row at lunch on home rower, 21:55.4, which is a pretty hard 1:49.5 / 500.<br />
<br />
Theeeeen at the gym tonight, did a 30 minute row, and clocked in 8355m, (1:47.7/500) which is 39 metres short of PB set a couple of days ago. WOuld have landed it too I reckon if not had rowed hard out at lunchtime.<br />
