How Far Did You Row Today?

[[old] Ducatista]

11,368, which puts me at 102,496. Halfway!<br /><br />I went from doing next to nothing all season to 10K+ most days. I decided to cover up the PM during the Challenge rows so I wouldn't hassle myself about pace, get tired, and give up. Right now I'm after quantity, not quality—I'm fine with junk meters. <br /><br />Here's what happened:<br /><br />May 01 thru Nov 23: 11 rows ( ), avg distance 5,100m<br />Nov 24 thru Dec 06: 10 rows, avg distance 10,250m<br /><br />My avg 500m pace during the Challenge is 3 seconds <i>faster</i> than when I was watching the monitor, for rows more than twice as long. I'm keeping that baby covered for a while!<br />

(fast in glacial terms at least)<br /><br />

18,500 m today. 9,500 (43:20.1) in the morning and 9,000 (39:16.3) in the afternoon. A one day record for me. Also the first time I have rowed twice in one day. At 132,000 in the challange so far. Maybe, since work is slow this week I'll row twice a day a couple more time this week and try to catch up to Xeno.

I only did 15K today. Dang, no matter how hard I try, I can't cover the distances Xeno and Lucas do on the 3 by 6 cardio workout DVD. Oh well, it's fun to try. I finished the Holiday Challenge a couple of days ago.<br /><br />Byron

Today Polaco and I were supposed to race in Amsterdam. Due to flight delays because of heavy fog in Amsterdam, we had to cancel the trip <br />Nevertheless, and taking advantage of the beautyfull weather in Castelldefels, we went to the Olympic Channle and had a nice 12k row on the coxless pair.<br />At about the race time (13:30), we couldn't resist to do a 2k on the gym ergs. (+ 1,5k "warmup").<br />That makes a total of unexpected 15,5 k for today...<br />Very sorry to miss the meeting with Hennie, Pieter and all the other Dutch folks!

Today 20 k OTW again on the 2- with Polaco.<br />If everything goes well, we are planning to race the Spanish championships this summer in the pairs (still to decide if coxless or coxed by my son Eric "Guacamole").<br />Although we enjoy our rowing very much, there are still lots of space for improvement!
