I don't think I realized how taxing yesterday was until this morning. I was just wiped. Made my morning power shake, got ready to hit the pool and sat down and felt just so sleepy and sluggish. I made some scrambled eggs and half an avocado since I still felt ravenous and eventually made it to work.
It wasn't until my mid morning matcha that I started to feel a little more energetic.
I manned up after work and warmed up for my 2k row. Per usual, my first 300m were easy and I managed to hang on to a sub 7:10 pace... until my last 500m where I totally blew up.

Yikes. Ideally, I'd like to hit 1:46 for the first three 500m splits and then give it all I have for the last 500m and get right in under 7:00. I was looking at the C2 rowing World Championships qualifying times and most are adjusted around 9-10 seconds for Denver altitude. Well, Colorado Springs is another .15 miles higher so while I'm not elite, I'm not doing as poorly as I might have thought.
It took me a little bit to recover and I started on my Wendler 5/3/1 squats which felt quite heavy. I might have to adjust my 1RM since I haven't been squatting for load since my knee has been really bothering me.
This was probably my worst depth of all the sets, but whatever. I'm a hair high in the picture, but again, this is a knee issue and I'm doing the best I can.
I finished the day with more bodyweight stuff without dips since my shoulders were pretty hot from all that work yesterday. With our physical fitness test coming up this Friday, I focused on speedy reps and that ever important eccentric squeeze.
