Well done Alex. Big increase!
I felt crappy after the AZ jab. Was OK that day but the next day and the day after felt ropey and like someone had punched me in the arm. If I had been rowing I would have prob given it a miss for 3 days post jab. Hope it went OK!
Thx Dino.
Jabbed up and ready to take on Corona.....I'll probably do a base session this afternoon before any symptoms have a chance to come out then I can take the weekend off if need be.

Slowly getting back in shape. First serious TT in 4 years was to be a 30min. Some trouble to set a sound target. Settled for sub 2:00 but managed to hold sub 1:58. Got to 7.674m. Pretty wasted but pretty happy with that too. SPM 23-24. HWT , 50yo. Cheers Hardy

Great to hear from you Glenn and that you are still at it. Tough to get back. It was so much fun with you and the other guys back in the day. Cheers Hardy

HD - I see posts from Aussie Luke over on the Dan John site occasionally. I wonder where Pieman and the others went to. We pushed ourselves pretty hard and it was super fun.

Guys, after the second shot, do those workouts asap before the effects kick in...
I squeezed in an easy workout before the a vaccine side effects could kick in... If I had waited a few more hours, I would have had to skip the whole session. I felt fine 12 hours after the shot but then, 18 hours after the second dose, I was feeling quite sick. The good news is that the following morning (36 hours after the shot), I was fine again, so I didn't miss a day of training.

500m TT PB -1.9s

.... Final contribution to IRL Team Bolt...sub 1:30 was there with 75m to go but I hit a pothole


. Erg was also wriggling around on the mat so probably more here on another day and with some dedicated sprint training.

Very good Alex.
Stroke rate vs pace through the middle looks a bit painful. I suppose it's only one stroke difference per 100m, but it looks like heaps.
What's your lp? Mine is barely better than my 1' pace, so I think I'm pretty much maxed out for sprints unless I get stronger.
