The drive to Račice was uneventful, as it should be. A bit more than 280km. Of course the famous Czech highway D1 with it’s concrete panels made me slow down a bit. Luckily they are working on the road and the segments with panels are fewer and fewer.
Mini pictures from the event and Lenka’s afternoon training:
It was a cold 8 degrees C. We’re not training here for the nice weather. We’re here because there are fewer choppy days than in Brno, because coaches can conveniently ride a bike next to the rower instead of having to steer a launch, and rowers can nicely row in lanes and don’t have to worry about oncoming traffic.
And I am here because I am the trailer tow car driver. And because I sort of took a week off to be with the kids. Sort of. Need to be back in Brno on Wednesday afternoon and Tuesday morning, to take care of some work related business.
I did a 4x2km row, together with Lubos. He’s pulls a 6:34 erg and is a first year senior rower. I am a 42 year old slow Masters rower. Still, I managed to get him tired on this 4x2km, which we rowed in 25/26 spm.

The wind was quite strong, but there was relatively mild chop, especially when compared to our home lake.
At 4pm, a meeting notice jumped up on my iphone screen. I didn’t want to stop to click it away, because I was happily (well – slightly out of breath) rowing next to Lubos. Here’s the Garmin plot, because I want my readers to see the final push in the fourth interval:
I was rowing well. Romana commented only that my blades are slightly too deep, so I tried to work on that. Otherwise the stroke rate was light and easy to hold. My heart rate was high but sustainable. A good workout.
Oh, and Strava thinks the rowing canal is a meadow:
