Sprint pyramid - 4k of pain

I fgelt well coming out to row for the first time in weeks. I seem to have finally shaken off a persistent cough and felt perky all day. Lessons went welll, which is always a good sign of being in control.

Last time I tried this pyramid was January 9th - and it was slow. I didn't blog though. Must have been too tired. Today I am typing as I go in ergscores.com.

Distance	Time	500M Split	Comments
250 meters	0:51.6	1:43.1	Getting in to it.
500 meters	1:42.9	1:42.9	Hmmm. Could be ugly this. But surely I am fitter than January?
750 meters	2:34.5	1:43.0	Getting tough. Need to relax a little on the pace for the next one or the 750m after will be cruel. HR180..
1000 meters	3:26.0	1:43.0	Lng and strong. Proper rowing for the first time in ages. No idea what is in store for rep 5 though. Could be very nasty.
750 meters	2:33.4	1:42.3	Wow. where did that come from? Kept rowing long and strong and held on - split did not go below 1:42.5. Pleased. 2 to go.
500 meters	1:39.5	1:39.5	Ow. No plan and held on to sub 1:40. Ow. Nearly there. Good session so far. Can I finish with a sub 1:30 or better?
250 meters	0:44.7	1:29.4	Wow. Where did that come from?

Pleased with this. Much, much better. Must be related to feeling healthier.
