Friday August 19th

This has nothing to do with rowing, but I LOVE this video.. I legit listen to it on my iPod when I am working out.. Love Rocky, Love Ali, and I love that Mandela Speech.. So money..

WOD
Row 4x 1000m 
3 min rest in between efforts

Times- 3:21, 3:32, 3:37, 3:35

I went pretty balls to the wall on the first one just to get an idea of how I was feeling today..
Answer = Quite good. (I believe my previous PR on a 1000 sprint was 3:23 so I'll take that, thanksverymuch.)

I wasn't hugely diligent on the 3 minute rests in between.. I just sort of let one extra song go by on my iPod and took a second to reset the rower and such.. The 2nd and 3rd sprints were pretty good, I just tried my best to hold the 1:46ish pace and sprint out the last 150m or so. My arms were really tired by the time the last one came up so I didn't know how it would go, just hoped to break 3:40 honestly. BUT, I threw that video on my iPod and listened to it cuz it gets me fired up and I was able to somehow beat my 3rd time on my last sprint, which is really rare for me... I ALWAYS tire out linearly, so it was cool to see that I could finish stronger than I began. Purely mental.

Note to self: download more motivating speeches.
