2K row

Workout:
2k row
Time: 7:39

Food: (posting a day late, may not be too precise)
am: oatmeal with butter, cream, pecans, coffee with cream
late am: one scrambled egg, spoonful peanut butter, more coffee with cream
afternoon: bowl of lentil soup, bite of dark chocolate + almonds
dinner: roast chicken leg, roasted vegetables: beets, yams, carrot, pureed turnips + olive oil, glass of wine

Thoughts: This is my best 2k row time so far and I felt terrible. I'd eaten a huge dinner, sat in a car for two hours, then did two rounds of warm-up and hit the row. Really did not feel good, so I know I can get it under 7:30 next time.
I just read this (after rowing the 2k), will try to incorporate some of these ideas on warmup and pacing next week:
