Path flooded again so took some back roads on the way back to pad out the distance.

Faffed around all morning before finally heading out for a nice cold drizzly paddle, except when I got there it stopped raining which was somewhat disappointing as I was looking forward to a rainy paddle.

NE wind for a change so fast on the way out, but considerably slower back into the wind. Second lap I did a figure of 8 to to try to get a bit more tailwind on the rowing course than slightly sheltered on the return lane.

Obviously didn't work hard enough, have to work hard to keep the boat going where you want it when the wind is on an angle cause it likes to round up into the wind, so couldn't get going properly. Did some short sprints to finish off. Probably should plan a proper intervals session sometime.

Got home early and was going to go out for a ride, but a few drops of rain put me off since I've spent most of the winter going all soft and mushy.

So more Buck Rogers, interrupted by dinner with 10 mins to go.

After the kids went to bed, finished off Buck Rogers then squeezed in an episode of Wild Racers.

Calf felt fine the whole time. Just need to increase my distance out on the road a bit more, then I can ride to work again.
