One guy in our quad is sick, so we replaced him with Martin “Turkey” Krocil.

The training was a “Small Pyramid”, i.e.

20″ / 20″R @ 40spm
40″ / 40″R @ 38spm
60″ / 60″R @ 36spm
40″ / 40″R @ 38spm
20″ / 20″R @ 40spm

We rowed it in hard summer rain and almost now wind. I was glad it rained so hard. Temperatures have dropped from >30C to 19C, and all the swimmers and recreational boats have disappeared. We had the lake for ourselves.

This wasn’t an easy workout. Martin hasn’t sculled since the race in Piestany. He has trained, but only on the erg and in the pair. The high rates were a bit of a shock to his system. Also, I had the feeling the boat was lying to the port side and there wasn’t the lightness that is required for a fast quad.

I think our paces are slow compared to the competition. Well, we’ll see on Saturday.
