The return to training

Back to uni after xmas and that can only mean one thing: winter training camp. It's currently day 3 of the camp and so far I'm still alive. There was 28km on the water on sunday morning, a 3x10 min r24/26/28 erg session yesterday and a set of 9 x3@r20, 1@r24, 1@r30 minute intervals this morning which hurt.

The good news is that none of the sessions have hurt as much as expected. 

The bad news is that Sunday's water session has caused some skin irritation and a couple of my fingers are now red and swollen and my asthma has flared up due to lack of steroids.

Luckily tomorrow is a rest day which I definitely need before testing on thursday. Slightly worried that I've lost all my strength and so going to do badly but only time will tell.

Aside from rowing it's nice to be back. Debating making some mini cakes tonight, probably chocolate, to keep me entertained during revision.
