row 2k in under 8 mins

Today I thought I was tired and not really in the mood, but I still took 10secs off from my time last term. I really didn’t imagine I could be that close to getting it under 8mins.

I have always been a bit scared to aim for it, because I know I will be really cut up if I go too fast and then die in the last 900m. I thought I’ll never be good enough, I’m too short, my arms are too long, my legs are too short, whatever whatever. It’s time to stop being so skeptical of myself and believe I will make it!

Different things to concentrate on for the time being but I shall leave this at the back of my mind.

Last year I got it down to 8:08.8 but I’ve rather slipped since then and have got out of shape when I was getting so near. Will have another go this winter at getting the time down again. Would be glorious to break that magic (for me) barrier!
