Cheese/Meat/Jagermesiter

After my recent skiing trips which have been pretty much a festival of meat, cheese and jagermeister I did not hold out much for todays weigh in and time trial. I am sat at my work desk literally dripping in sweat whilst I write this so I'm going to keep this very short and sweet. Remarkably I have lost a few llbs, now weighing in at 14st 9. I suspect four days of fairly non stop skiing has helped burn a few calories. On Chris' recommendation I made a switch from resistance 10 to 7. This is perfectly legal. It just means you have to pull more frequently than force 10. This helped although was still nackering. I decided today that I should not fanny about. I think you really have to throw yourself at this sport, and chuck your all in. Long story short I did in in 7 mins 38 secs which is a fair chunk quicker than last time. I'm pretty pleased with that although with increased fitness I know I could shave 15 seconds of that. My problem is when I row really quickly, I have to literally stop for a few seconds which will be costing me dearly. I'm going to go on a jogging campaign as sub 7.30mins is in my sights. The thought of shaving forty seconds off a time which has nearly crippled you is a touch intimidating. I think the answer lies in aerobic fitness. I'm happy with strength but fitness is letting me down. Anyway enough of rowing, I'm off to watch England rip through the Welsh! ciao
