Today really brought me back to when I used to have row sprint Wednesdays, I would drag a rower in the corner and stay there for an hour and a half. Good times. The 10 sets of 500m were not nearly as bad as I thought they were going to be. My goal was to keep it between a 2:03-2:05 for every set. The first five were pretty easy. I'm not really sure what the hell happened on my sixth one, I thought that would have been better seeing as I had just rested a full 5:00. For some reason I just couldn't hang on to a good pace, I was all over the place on that one. I was able to reign it in for the next four. I was having major stomach cramps during the last four rows, it was actually really distracting. I don't know if I should have eaten earlier in the day or what was going on, but my stomach was really hurting for the last half of the session. I had to chew some gum to distract myself from whatever was going on in my stomach. It eventually went away after I stopped rowing but it was really frustrating. 

Since today's session was on the shorter side, I decided to work on some gymnastics with Heather. I haven't done any handstand walking in awhile so that's what I worked on first. It felt great! My handstand walk is actually getting pretty quick. I'm no Val Calhoun but I would like to be able to walk on my hands with that kind of speed eventually. I also did a few freestanding handstand push ups.
