I didn’t do any workout on Monday. Even though my training plan assumes Sunday is a rest day, it usually works out like this. I like to concentrate to work only on Monday, and not being stressed about making it to the lake on time or not.
On Tuesday, I again had the Masters ladies 4x as a sparring partner, so I skipped the steady state planned for Monday and did a 2x(4x250m).
It seems that my heart rate band didn’t register the first 250m set.
I tried to pace the intervals such that I started at lower stroke rate, and then increased. It was extremely humid and warm weather, and this felt like a very tough workout, despite the small amount of work time.
On Wednesday, I did an hour of weights. Pretty heavy on the deadlifts and squats this time.
On Thursday, I didn’t have time for a steady state session. I rode to work on the bike instead, and back home at the end of the day. Ninety minutes of bike riding, in the heat, over a hilly course. After that and Wednesday’s squats and deadlifts, I think the inside of my thighs looked like a mushy mess, incapable of any further exercise.
So on Friday I was sparring with the ladies again. It was pretty rough weather, and we did 6x500m/3min. Actually, we changed it to 6x2min/3min.
This wasn’t too fast but my excuse was the rough conditions.
On Saturday, I did a very fine steady state / technique workout. The mirror was flat as a lake (or was it the other way round), and I could row an entire 3000m stretch with square blades.
I did lots of other exercises, including some of the balance stuff that should impress the people on the Stand-Up Paddle boards. Sadly, they just continue doing their yoga and are not impressed at all.
At the end of the day, I drove to Vienna to pick up my daughter who arrived on a flight from Amsterdam. On the way back we drove through some very heavy rain. Today, I wanted to go to the lake but it’s very hot and humid weather again, so in the end Romana and I just hiked a bit in the hills around our house.
The hike ended in a garden pub, where I had some soup and a beer. Walking back from the pub to our house, we passed the vegetable garden of a colleague, who promptly handed me lots of green beans, a patty squash, and tomatoes. I am firing up the grill. Some steaks as a side dish to the fresh vegetables.
