The end of the season has eventually reached and now I can have a good rest after about 7 months of systematic training at various sports (windsurfing, triathlon, running, indoor rowing).
And nothing feels better than to end the 2010 with a first place at the Greek Indoor Rowing Championship, which this is what happened on the 18th of Dec!!! Best Xmas gift !!!
Distance: 1000 m (standard length for the Greek IRC)
Official finish time: 3.02.8 ( 0.4 secs off my last year's 2009 Greek national record and 2.4 seconds in front of the 2nd place!!! - tough competition this year)
1 st place at 30-39 division (between 15 full time rowers and technically experienced athletes from distinguished national rowing clubs)
Not a national record this time (I am NR holder since 2010), but considering the load of the racing schedule for this year (about one important race every 4-5 weeks since May) I am quite happy to conclude the 2010 this way.
I will rest for about 10 days and prepare the training season for the 2011 Greek Triathlon Race events:
