It's been over a month since my last post and not much has happened on the rowing front. I've been ill and then injured! It really never rains it pours! I had a couple of weeks good rowing after my last post and rowed a good combination of steady stuff and some intervals finally I was getting some metres on the board.
The I lost a week to flu and during the come back from flu my back started hurting during some sprint work. It's settled down to the left hand side around the small of my back which hopefully means no damage to the spine. Even so I think the general rule of 'don't muck about with your back' is a good one so I've rested it for two weeks now and the soreness is all but gone.
I went to Evesham as chief cheerleader to the ever impressive freespirits. Saw some great rows by all of the team and had lots of fun and banter along the way. My trainers were stars of the day powering Skipeola to third in the 30-39 category, I'm not sure I'll ever make them go that fast again. Stan's row was impressive also as it was quicker throughout and a move away form the crazy finishes.
Most moving image of the day was definitely Woj rowing a PB and then overwhelmed by the emotion of it all attempted sexual relations with the machine. It was both disturbing and beautiful at the same time.
