Off the boil

Another three days off then an attempt at a 2k PB this morning. No alcohol yesterday, but the same could not be said about the previous days, and I've been over-eating too, my mass 2kg heavier than Evesham last week. I have not been rowing either (other than the 500m mid week) and have not been sleeping well, which may well be related of course.

So, I gave up at 1,000m at, you guessed it, a split of 1:40. I may come back tonight for a second bite at the cherry because I am giving blood tomorrow and speed work is right out after that for a while.

Metres today (before lunch): 3,539

Came back this evening determined to do a decent 2k before tomorrow. And wimped out again, this time at 800m in knowing that I did not have the mental toughness for a push. Sad how quickly ones mental and physical resolve dies. Back in to the serious training again I guess.

Metres this evening: 3,105
