Stationary drills. Length. Flexibility. A few strokes at a low split. All is possible on flat water, at least until the powerboats come. All is possible when one is fatigued from the night before!

Focused on stroke length and body swing, but fatigue due to sleeplessness got the better of me and I quit after 7500m (with permission).

Starting to learn how to move the boat faster. Stationary drills and relaxation help.

Did 20 starts, then 10 x 2′ with 2′ rest, which turned out to be a bunch of 1:30s with 2-3 minute rests due to wakes and winds.
Was supposed to do 10′ of stationary drills followed by 10 starts with 10 strokes after the starts and 2 minutes of paddling.
Oh well…

Working on timing…many interruptions as coach insisted that I "bounce the back off the trampoline on the recovery," then count to four on the slide up. Astoundingly effective at 19-20 spm. I am no dancer: I keep dipping my chin. I keep dropping my right hand.
Last night III-II-I pyramid pieces…5′, 3′ then 1′, with 4′ rest in between, and doing it three times.
Yow.
The good news: I still had lots of gas left in the tank after the I.

I raced at Royal Canadian Henley on August 2, 2009. I'll be spending the month of August and most of September training for head races. I haven't entered any of my training into this log in almost 60 days, because as a single sculler, I note that there are only a couple of other scullers who use this site, so there is zero feedback. I will continue to train daily according to a regimen designed by an experienced trainer. This blog will help me keep track of my efforts as I strive to become competitive in both 1,000 meter and 5,000 meter events. My other favorite activities include: Squash. On May 31, 2008, I crashed my bike and sustained a Type III shoulder separation. After 6 weeks off, I went back on the water for 3 weeks, hoping to enter Canadian Henley. It became obvious that I needed to rest it more. This year has been better, but I am still only at 4:30 for a sprint.
