Lunch at Claim Jumpers (on the Bosstrienne, because someone in our group got
promoted plus free ice cream day at work (because we've gone a very long time with
no injuries) leads to a full body and a logy mind for Dichroic.
It
will also lead to a lot of me to drag back and forth on the erg tomorrow, when I'm
scheduled to do a 6K piece. Oig. Yesterday I did a personal bets on a 1K piece;
I'm conflicted on whether to be proud of that or not because it was a whopping .2
seconds better than one I did two YEARS ago. On the other hand, I'm in the top 50%
in the rankings on the Concept II (the erg's makers) website for lightweight
women, which isn't too bad considering that even a lot of lightweights are much
taller.
Sometime after I get the 6K done, I get to have even more
fun with a 90 minute piece. The idea is to do a 1K, a 6K, a 90 min, a max heart
rate trial, and to get the max watts you can pull and then do some sort of ratios
that will tell you whether your weakness is strength, endurance, or what --
something Rudder found while researching training. I'll be very shocked if
endurance isn't my weakest point. Rudder did his 90 min piece this morning and is
apparently still felling like crap (actually, that's a direct quote). Something to
look forward to in my near future. The things we do for speed......
