Day Three

Hi Guys, thanks for all your comments it's great to hear from you all, good luck at Llandaff, I really wish I was there to swim another lap at midnight, can someone please keep up that tradition I started! Thanks for the running advice Christi!!! I knew I could count on you for advice no matter what it was.

Weights was at 9.30am and we did our 3 rep max on the arm pull, the bench press and the bench pull. Most of us were at the same amount of weights apart from the ex light weight GB rowers could lift that bit more! My goal is to have them! We then did a short circuits session of 5 mins of press ups, seated single arm row, Belgium single arm pulls, and dreaded chin ups. Everyone was put into groups of 3 apart from my group had 2 people. Who ever got the most reps out at the end of the 5 mins of each won. So our mission was to try and beat a group with three people in. 5 mins is along time, we were aloud to assist each other on the chins but we ended up practically lifting each other up which was quite funny as my partners arms went and her arse landed on my face as I was lifting her from her feet. Ha ha But we came 3rd out of 4 so mission accomplished and now not only my quads kill but EVERYTHING else too! If I sit still for too long I can’t move.

After lunch we did some technical work on the kayak erg. Then this afternoon we kayaked 4k to the end of the 2k lake and back, our coach Mark was cycling along the side and shouting technique stuff to us. After I went in K4 and it was awesome, I just loved being in a crew boat.

Tomorrow going for a 2 hour cycle ride at 8.30am with some very experienced cyclists, I just hope Antonia and I are at the same level at this or I will be last, I don’t think my cycling to work is going to match the triathletes is the group!

Buy the Sunday Telegraph, I had a chat to a journalist yesterday about it all and plugged COB a thousand times!
