building up the mileage and losing weight

since we last spoke my body has slowly transformed back in to the shape of a runners or may be a triathletes rather than rowers. the fact is that while i do feel i could be ugely successful as an oarsman i feel more at home training outside in the fresh air rather than in the confines of the gym on the ergometers. if the rowing club do finally get back to me with the chance to row for them then obviously i would be foolish not to give it at least some consideration. but for the time being the emphasis is on running cycling and swimming, the main priorities to get my swimming up to scratch which is some thing that i will need to do if i want to row any way and to get a racing bike with a frame that fits me. i'm training with portishead running club tonight but thats about all there is to report at the moment
