Argh. Two extremely hard erg days, broke down today. Had 6 x 500m yesterday, only managed to do 5 with an average of 1:43.7 (but that's due to me starting with a 1:48 to see what my pace would like) as I ran out of time and then had 20 minutes to walk to Porthill (my house), get changed, CHUNDER, and then go do chemistry coursework :P
5k Full Pressure today, and I've never done a big test like that before, nor a 2k (properly). Got 20:53 which i'm ******* disappointed with, because I stopped like 4 times. Had a very long chat with one of the rowing coaches and just broke down :/ but he said I just have t o be aware it's a tough sport and some of these guys have been rowing for over 3 years now and that I can't just expect to be as good as 2nd/1st VIII standard after 4 months of rowing. Bah, rant over...
Anyone else have problems with fitness when they first started?
