The Training Timetable
Quote of the moment:
"Don't worry, you won't be getting up at 6.30 to go rowing just yet, but..."
Oh good. Went to the introductory rowing meeting this evening. It was impressively organised. There are 4 squads, each with a commitee member as 'captain': Novice and Senior Men and Women. Obviously I come under Novice Men, who number about 60, enough for a respectable 7 boats worth. There are apparently about 30 Novice Women as well, plus a load of seniors who mostly weren't there. There's a spanky new clubhouse in the new waterfront development in Cardiff Bay that will be moved into in a couple of weeks time, which is handy, and the first novice races are at the end of November, with the bulk being during the summer.

My training schedule for the week now looks like this:

Tuesday:
Rowing Circuit Training, 7pm til 9pm
Wednesday:
Rowing Water Training, 1 hour of 2pm til 6pm
(Fencing Team, 2pm til 4pm, which I won't be in)
Thursday:
Rowing Circuit Training, 7pm til 9pm
Friday:
FREE
Saturday:
EITHER Rowing Water training, 1 hour of 9am til 1pm
Fencing Free-For-All, 3.30pm til 5.30pm
Sunday:
OR Rowing Water training, 1 hour of 9am til 1pm
Swim tests are supposedly tomorrow afternoon, but when a hands up was taken in the meeting over half of my squad were busy. The response from the captain was "Medics and Engineers on proper courses, is it?" Yeeees. If I turn up to all those sessions, I believe that would be 10 hours a week, in addition to the 40 I'm supposed to spend on my course. Oh, to be an arts student.

Wow... 3 in 3 minutes, that has to be a record. For some reason the spam only seems to appear with republishing, so I'll have to try and get stuff right first time.
Why DO you keep getting spammed, Will m8?
But WOW, are you seriously going to keep all that up? I mean, I can't even be arsed to sign up to the gym. Actually, that's coz it costs £25 plus another quid everytime you go to the gym. I mean, I'm not paying that sorta money to keep fit. PFT!
Ah, see, that's the thing. £15 to join up and everything's free from there (apart from the shirts n stuff, if you want them). But the circuit training's better than just signing up to the gym because you're actually monitored for how you do and you have to show progress n stuff, so there's proper motivation. I'm not le best at self motivation, obvs.
I'm not sure why I'd need to handicap a horse either.
