days thirteen, fourteen

Workout yesterday: OFF
Workout today: ROWING
6K row
Time: 25:55
(5K time: 21:40)
I could have done this faster, but I wasn't trying to go crazy. Aimed for under 2:15 splits with 25 or fewer strokes per minute, though I pulled a little harder at the end.
Note: upon advice of a former coxswain, I rowed this without my feet strapped in. She said it was good to train that way so you'd get more out of the foot straps when you race.

In general, feeling pretty exhausted and overwhelmed: classes and an exam yesterday, then to the hospital to research today's patient and home for homework. Never made it to the gym. Tonight I didn't plan on anything strenuous so I gave the 6K erg a try on the concept 2. This week I'm just trying to be recovered, rested, hydrated, stretched, fresh, etc for rugby Friday and Sunday.

Also, I'm trying to get a handle on some of the whole foods and paleo nutrition blogs Mike directed me to. I won't blog my eating for yesterday and today, which has been so-so because of time crunch. However, I did just look up exactly what I fed to my first patient: a tube feeding solution considered "very-high-protein" (25% calories from protein). The first non-water ingredient was . . . CORN SYRUP SOLIDS. Terrifying!
