24th Dec

got to try out the skiergs again for a tough Christmas Eve session...

Ski -> Assaultbike -> Row
500m->50cals->500m
400m->40cals->400m
...
100m->10cals->100m

around 35mins, aerobic pace. Still getting to grips with skierg, tried to keep it below 2:00/500m split. Hard to get the rpms on the bike above 62, could hold a 1:45/500m split ok on the rowing machine.
