super comp contin..
Fun fact of the day:
Ben and I went 3:01.5 for a starting 1000m piece this morning.
Ok, we may have gone a little too hard for the beginning of a 4 x 1k workout. But who cares.
Our second piece in a headwind was very bad. I think we heard we went 3.01 and laughed and let our guard down a little bit.
We kinda got it back together for pieces 3 and 4 and finished the workout well with a strong final minute. For today, I am not worried about having a poor remainder of the workout, today was mostly about seeing what we could do. It was encouraging and now the focus is on efficiency and repeating it. Fine tuning it. It is, after all, a very new boat and we have not done a whole lot of tuning. It just needs to be smoothed out a little bit in places. That being said, our strength is our aggression and well, sometimes you are going to be sloppy. Sometimes its not going to look great. But hey, if its not slowing the boat down, don't mess with it. Dan sees that and he knows it.
Body is feeling a little tired but that is that nature of this period of super comp. Gotta push through it, eat well, and get a lot of rest.
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
