I was so annoyed by what I heard
href="http://dichroic.diaryland.com/maramend.html">on the radio this morning
that I didn't even mention my workout this morning -- since I generally do that
every day, this journal is something f a workout log for me. A good thing, too, as
I forget to log my distance on the erg morning after morning. Anyway, today I
lifted weights, all arm stuff. I'm very sore from yesterday's rowing workout, so I
only did 500m on the erg as warm-up. I felt guilty, though, so went back and did
another 500 after lifting.
That was an odd feeling: after doing my
full cycle with the heaviest weights I can manage (varying, but anywhere up to 90
lbs on the pulling exercises: Lat pulldowns, high row, bench pull, low row,
upright row, plus a couple other things) pulling on the erg felt oddly easy, and I
had a much lower split time for what felt like the same
effort.
Tomorrow's rowing practice will probably be worse, if
Yosemite Sam sticks to the schedule Coach DI posted. Ugh!
The
worrying thing about that is that we plan to go camping this weekend, out on our
property on the Rim. As Rudder pointed out, that could make sleeping on the ground
fairly unpleasant. This won't really be wilderness, though; if it rains too hard
to do anything, we can go sit in the clubhouse instead of in a tent, and if
sleeping on the ground is too rough on our (rapidly aging) old bones, there are
hotels nearby.
Rudder plans to go to dinner tonight with T2 and
Yosemite Sam, to discuss training for their fall head races, but I think I will
skip that to go shopping for the camping food, since otherwise I'll have no time
to do that or to pack. We usually keep some nonperishables in with the camping
gear, but since we haven't gone for quite a while, I don't want to rely on
those.
