9/12 (am) - 12k erg. 4k warm up, 8 x 500m (2:00 rest), 4k cool down. This one was rough. Trained really early in the morning, 5a or so, so that I could get to work commitments on time. Rowed on the erg in the gym I found while traveling. You could tell the machine had not been maintained or cleaned;...

9/11 - Strength work. Got to where I was heading early and found a really nice powerlifting / bodybuilding / strongman gym that I dropped into. The best part is they have a C2 tucked back in the corner collecting dust (and chalk) that I'll probably drop in for again tomorrow before heading home. I'l...

9/10 - A bit of erg work, a bit of strength work. Not entirely sure what I will be able to get done over the next two days as the place I am going is more than 100 miles from the nearest stoplight (no exaggeration) and the hotel I am staying in for a night doesn't have much. I'm hoping to drop in fo...

9/9 - Strength work. Laid a bit of an egg over what I had hoped to accomplish. Got deadlifts done as planned and they felt relatively good. Moved into weight vest work and was shooting to get a full 20 rounds done in close to my PR time (40ish mins) but ran out of gas quick. Got to the 8th round and...

9/8 - 16k erg; 3k warm up, 10 x 1k @ 60:00 to HM effort (1:00 rest), 3k cool down. Stayed pretty disciplined with the intervals today and kept things in a range that felt comfortably hard. I did make a mindful effort to keep the stroke rate up; the power / pace per stroke was a bit lower but I accom...

Did my first Full Marathon today, was aiming for under the 3 hour mark so paced for that. Resting heart rate was a bit higher than normal due to remnants of a cold so tried to keep HR in check. The most difficult bit was eating & drinking without losing to much time :) Got a time of 2:59:32 so pret...

9/7 - Strength work. Did not feel particularly good on the day; trained a bit later than I would have liked so garage was well into the 90's, outside temps into the low 100's with no real cloud cover during lunges, thus it was a sweaty mess. Session ended up being a bit abbreviated due to some plans...

9/6 - 16k erg (4 x 4k, 1:00 rest for water and towel off). Chill, steady state session to get some meters in as my training volume this week has been a bit down. Planning on a tough strength session tomorrow and either hard intervals or threshold intervals on the erg on Sunday. Not much to report on...

9/5 - Strength work. This is the heavy day of the week but is the medium week of a three week block, with next week being the heavy week. Everything moved well today; no real grind with any of the reps. Opted for heavier accessory work which has been the norm for a few weeks now on the heavy day, bu...

9/4 - 6k on the erg; 2k warm up, 20 x 100m (~10 strokes) on 1:00 rest, 2k cool down. Again, a bit pressed for time today due to a work appointment but the rest of the week and the weekend are pretty well clear to get back to training as normal. Did something I could fit into the window I had while w...

9/3 - Strength work. Slightly abbreviated as I was running short on term; needed to get cleaned up and out the door for a work appt. Got the main barbell work in and about 50% of the accessory work before calling it, but was able to cram all of it in right at 40:00. I'm pleased with how the strength...

I really learned to like the 8x500 :lol: Good session 👌🏻 I like to have a reference for the intervals, but with the warmup and cooldown programmed into the whole session, you only get the average for the overall distance. Any reason why you are doing it this way? It gets much more difficult to have...

Why?

Why virtual I am not sure, but the landing page notes that the '25 WRICH will be done on any C2 indoor rower. That leads me to believe it will be a virtual event. I could very well be wrong though.

9/2 - 12k erg; 4k warm up, 8 x 500m (2:00 rest), 4k cool down. On paper, it doesn't look spectacular but a big mental win on the day. Last time I did hard 500m intervals, I put the handle down after the 6th interval while averaging 1:43.1 / 500m Today I averaged 1:42.9 / 500m through 6 (relatively s...

Looks like the initial indications are that it will be virtual:
