Saturday: 4 x 15 / 4′ (6’@5kp, 9’@mp)

We got to bed late on Friday night, and I was feeling lazy on Saturday morning, so I postponed my maiden voyage of Kanangra to Sunday.  The weather was going to be better as well.  Instead, I went out to the lumber yard to get wood to build a proper boat rack, and then I built a proper boat rack.

Space for two coastal boats.  The old broken Alden Star on top and the New Maas Aero on the bottom.  I think I might swap that next weekend.  Getting the boat off the bottom rack is a bit of a tricky maneuver.

Anyway, by about 6pm, I was ready for an erg session.  Another session from the Marathon Plan.

M1 4 x 15′ / 4′ 6′ @ 5KP, 9′ @ MP 92.5% (172)

So, for target powers, I wanted to kick it up a notch.  Last week I did this with 9′ at 5kp and  6′ at mp, and this would obviously be easier at the same pace.  That session was 235W and 201W.  So today, I decided to aim at 250W and 203W.

So, I did it and it was hard!

Pleased with the steadiness of this effort, even when it got hard.
