Preparing for the Tour du Leman did involve a lot of long ergos, and there's only so much time I am prepared to bat up and down on my WaterRower in the conservatory listening to Radio 4 after work (listening to the 6.30pm comedy is fine, so long as it's not SO funny that you laugh out loud, which ruins your split times, but then when the ergs are long, you have to listen to the Archers too, which is questionable, and if it's an even longer erg, there's usually some pretentious arts programme after that which makes me lose the will to live)!<br /><br />But back to the point - we still do quite a lot of rowing in the winter, and go out skiffing in he dark once or twice a week with lights on the boat, here in Walton-on-Thames. <br /><br />Of course, the BIG task of the winter is planning next year's expeditions...Expedition Rowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824087480855613795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833851634879305722.post-62611541571146809372014-11-16T09:08:35.305+00:002014-11-16T09:08:35.305+00:00I was thinking about you this Sun morning as I was...I was thinking about you this Sun morning as I was washing my kit, having been watching some ergo training videos a friend sent me. How do your expedition training schedule far during autumn/winter months. Do you sweat it out on an ergo, pump iron, or just go back to ordinary living, and an occasional run?? I think there may be an article in there!!<br />All BWsToneShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527245953967089461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833851634879305722.post-22994035146328581652014-10-25T11:38:44.122+01:002014-10-25T11:38:44.122+01:00Thanks, Tony - it really is a fantastic event.Thanks, Tony - it really is a fantastic event.Expedition Rowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824087480855613795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833851634879305722.post-36058244914571138222014-10-24T19:25:12.456+01:002014-10-24T19:25:12.456+01:00Another good job well done, and a solid story out ...Another good job well done, and a solid story out of it too.
