This week we're having just the sort of sweltering hot weather we expect in August in the Mid South. Fahrenheit highs are reaching the high 90s, with triple-digit heat indices, and it's dipping just barely below 80 degrees overnight. It looks like we might get a moment of relief this weekend.
On Tuesday I did two sets of three 8-minute pieces (2 minutes recovery) with stroke rates of 60, 68, and 60 strokes per minute within each set.
Yesterday I did four sets of four (1 minute on/1 min. off), alternating between 60 spm and 80 spm within each set. I put a small resistance on the boat. This was a technical workout, intended to put my focus on anchoring each stroke and executing good leg drive and pelvic rotation.
Today was a gym day. I stayed in and did the same routine I've been doing since my return from the Pacific Northwest: some lat pulls, some military press, some abdominal exercises, some pull-ups, and some dead lifts.
