British indoor rowing competition

Was in two minds whether to go this year or not - but really glad i did.

Training has been off recently - work pressures leaving very little time for erging. Not injured but rather too dramatic a taper (ie almost no rowing in the last week).

Went out for a great bike ride on friday and realised I had to row to give meaning to the last 5 weeks training so booked last minute hotel and drove up Sat night.

Arrived at the venue early and had plenty of time to chat with fellow rowers, whilst watching the J18 Youth race - 2k in sub 6 mins

No nerves performance wise, didn't think I was anywhere near the PB so no pressure.
Sat down on the erg and flittingly thought about just having a comfortable row avoiding the hurt box but in the end just went with my usual race plan.

2000m PB in 6:36.7 9th in my age group :-)

Grand day out !
