I've lost four pounds since I joined the Princeton training group on Monday. Yesterday I decided I needed to take aggressive action. This is the result: a food baby consisting of three breakfasts in one. #olympianproblems
Looks like what most needs improvement here is the DCR's spelling skills. Either that, or these kids are going to get damn good at improvisational comedy. #grammarpolice
I received my new Garmin Fenix 5 Plus yesterday. Post-workout this morning I told it to measure my heart rate variability. After 3 minutes it jingled and gave me a stress score of 97/100, or "very high stress". I'm not sure if I should be proud or dismayed. Regardless, training is still on track for my Tokyo 2020 comeback! In any case, I want to take this opportunity to thank @garmin for its great customer service and support of Team USA. When my 5-year old Fenix 2 died a couple weeks ago, Garmin let me trade it in for a significant discount on the newer model. Also, I noticed that the rowing activity function now automatically gives 500m splits, so we no longer have to do the math in our head to translate 1000m to 500m splits (you'd think that would be easy for a bunch of smart athletes, but in the middle of a piece when the tunnel is closing in and your vision is getting blurry, dividing by 2 suddenly becomes a daunting task). Kudos on the improved functions! #garmin #fenix5plus #rowing #train #HRV #Tokyo2020
First weights session of 2019. It's as cold inside the boathouse as out. I'm wearing socks on my hands to keep them warm. But don't worry, the 🔥 inside burns strong!
