Weight training 10:00 [2]
Real quick session. Did chest, triceps, back extensions, and military press--the non-rowing muscles.
Rowing Machine warm up/down 7:00 [2]
Did 5 before and 2 after at 245 splits.
Rowing Machine 38:52 [4] 10.0 km (3:53 / km)
This was an intentional test piece. The goal was to improve on recent efforts and ideally go under 39. Result was 38:52.8. Not bad--best result since 2000, but of course, I haven't done any 10Ks since 2000 either. I will though.
Basically pulled as hard as I could as long as I could. I definitely can't pull as hard as I used to--basically started out at 153s and crept up to 158-159 at the end. Still averaged less than 157 of course.
The new computers take some of the fun/mental discipline out of things. They project your result so you don't have to do the calculations in your head.
Anyway, I am clearly lacking rowing-specific strength. More leg and back weights required. I will work on those hard Friday.

Note
It looks like my best time for 10K was 38:26. (post college, of course.)
I will get that. Its time is limited.

Note
I was mistaken. The best time was 38:03. That will be harder. I guess I'll need to do 37:XX. Those are 154 splits.
