4 x 500m row

Played some basketball in the morning, actually got breathing pretty hard.

1500

Brief warm up

4 x 500m row, damper setting @ 8 and 6

3 minutes rest in between

Splits were between 1:48 and 2:00

• Notes: Damn, my rowing is piss poor right now. Did this one last spring and was 10 seconds ahead on about all of them...my power output and capacity right now is obviously still pretty low. I guess it wasn't super surprising, but disappointing nonetheless. I am just baffled by guys who can row sub 1:30 500s.
• Sleep: 8 hours or so.
• Nutrition: Hasn't been too strict. Tinkering around with a few things, mostly the amount of carbs I am eating. Now that I am starting to do a few more metcons I can feel a need to up my carb intake slightly, but I am trying to stay away from higher fructose sources. Also picked up some coconut milk kefir this week for the first time. It has some pre/probiotics in it and I had been curious about trying something like that out. I'll see if I notice any effects. Side note: found a huge package of chicken leg quarters for way cheap yesterday, so I will be having a lot of that this week.
• Body: Glutes are still pretty sore, and my tfl area is pretty damn knotted up...cramping like crazy when I was stretching afterwards. Quads were getting smoked more than anything on this one, usually its my ass and hammies.
