After yesterday's wogging, I figured I could afford something a little faster. So, I did 5000m, rather than 10,000m. I clocked an average 2:07/500m for the spin, so I am improving...which is never a bad sign. I ws good enough to finish my last 750m at about 2:00/500m pace, although I had to slow to about 2:15 about midway through.

I have noticed my back has gotten bigger. I don't think I'd have rubbed part of my left side raw had I not been rowing, so some of this increased speed is coming with increased bulk.

Given that I don't face a weigh-in for at least another six months, I have some time. In the meantime, I'm going to concentrate a little more on rowing to see where this gets me.

The finishing time was appropriate enough being the Rush fan I am.
