Just finished 5K at 2:09 pace , a good improvement over my 2:19 about 8 weeks ago. Mostly at AT, although last 500 at AN. Started a fitness program about ten weeks ago, using the erg to try to undo about 15 years of relative inactivity. I am encouraged!

Carl, Whew, your speed carries you on quite well over distance. Sparky, Nice improvement.

OH Dear!!. Was doing a 3K piece today and was going OK. Went through 2000m in 6:36.2 Few metres later I got cramp in my toes and left ankle so had to drop the pace down to a virtual stop took a good few hundred metres for it to go. I then had to try and speed it back up again. Was still happy with the result though, considering 1st 1:38.8 2nd 1:39.6 3rd 1:39.3 4th 1:38.5 was just going to stark upping the pace a tad. 5th 2:03.0.......ouch 6th 1:42.1......Ooops. Never mind Sir Pirate

Today I did som single sculling in the morning. Only 4 degrees celsius and very windy. My first experience of "the finger heating". First you freeze, then pain and numbness and then after 20 in or so when you have worked the heat up in the rest of the body the fingers get warm again. I also did my first 1k that I timed (not all out). The result was X:50, where X is eather 3 or 4. At first I thought 3, comparing it with an erg 3:50, but then I asked what others do on water and I'm, starting to lean towards 4:50. Hm...I must time it properly next time.

5000m for me today, 2nd session in 2 days that has gone wrong. Had to stop twice, 1st time to adjust my T-Shirt as it has gone all baggy and was not sitting properly on me, 2nd time I had to stop and take the bl**dy thing of as it was getting right on my nerves. Messed up the chance of a good time. Ended up with 17:35.2 30 min piece tomorrow..............can't wait...................NOT Sir Pirate

John, probably Today I did a morning session and an evening session. I went up early and did some single sculling, 9k of various speeds. It's feeling better and better. Evening session was a 5k erg session. A comfortable high pace put me over the finnish line at 18:07.
