Scotland the Wave

It seems like the last few days has seen me come under attack at the top of the StW leaderboard, with Tony and then Gil posting improved times.  With Tony threatening to go for a sub-4:30, I might need to have another go myself, though results would be shaky at best as I’ve been picking up the running injuries of late and haven’t been on the rower much.  More annoying was my attempts to get cycling again which has left me with a sore left knee and hip, not sure why, maybe awrongly positioned cleat or too out of practice and not used to pushing a 53 gear into a Scottish summer ‘breeze’.

And with Donald’s second attempt, we now have 4 in the top 80.

Elizabeth, I also had probelms with blisters and callouses, rowing lots usually helped, but as you’re clearly doing that, maybe you should try some sort of glove.  Iuse these, http://www.concept2shop.co.uk/product/hand_pads, and they seem to help, and as they’re open they don’t get too hot or sweaty.  Probably should stick the current pair in for a wash sometime soon though…
