1st 5 weeks on water

Training for season 2010 has been going on now for 5 weeks. We have had very good conditions on the river Vltava, we have completed almost all training on water. Technical level of the younger mambers of our group has improved and we have had time to experiment many different combinations in 2x and 4x. Having this experience next spring will be easier to put together boats for racing and competition.

At the end of this 5 weeks we had a 2k test. At this point records are quite rare, because training has only started and the aerobic capacity is under construction. However 2 younger members of our group pulled new PB:s. Jakub Houska 5:57,6 and Martin Basl 6:07,5. Normal performance was about 4-6 seconds behind the record pace.

Next 3 weeks will be quite demanding in terms of quality and quantity. Eventually we will have to move indoors to work with Concept2 rowers. Demanding period of 3 weeks will be followed by easier period. We will take part at the ERGO Praha on 12.12., at the end of the demanding training.

It would be important to stay healthy now that we are building the aerobic capacity for the future...
