Yesterday was a killer. Fantastic, I felt euphoric afterwards, but a killer. It was so good I was wondering whether I was going to fall ill today. I didn't but I did have a 3 mile walk pushing the pushchair up and down country lanes which was tiring. I am built to row not walk.
So, if I am not falling ill I need to plan for a massive 5k on Tuesday. This means a day off tomorrow and as gentle as possible today. I went off as hard as I could (i.e. pretty gently!) got a half length lead on the 1:40 pace boat and stuck to it like glue. It was pretty hard, much harder than a 3:19.3 should be. This was borne out by a final heart rate of 178 - much higher than any first row since the first week, and surely not totally related to my gentle 2k warm up.
So a rest day tomorrow and we'll see what happens on Tuesday night.
Metres today: 5,000

Well done Thomas. It's funny you know as I seem to be built to walk not row! Quite the the opposite to you!
