Easter Sunday Row

If today is the resurrection of Jesus, then today I took his place upon the cross. Well thats how I felt on the rowing machine anyhow......

For a 30 minute row it should not have been soooooo difficult - during the session I covered 7009 meters with an average 500 meter pace being 2.08.4 which again, should not have been so hard. Yes I was pleased that my 500 meter pace was on average 2 seconds faster than my past row, but I'm still confused as to why it felt so tough. Looking at the stats it may have been that I started out a little quick - about 15 minutes in I seriously felt like stopping. I guess another plus is that I did not!

With the warm up/down I covered 8013 meters (4.97 miles). Better than sitting on my backside watching sport all afternoon :-) Hmmm or is it.

I guess still an improvement, still not feeling 100% and fighting off this cold - hopefully over the coming weeks I will see my average pace for 30 minutes drop below 2.05 for 500 meters.

Right where is the chocolate!
