My performance is definitely going down!
Went to Shek Mun today, worked out in the gym then went down to the water. I actually did better in the gym -- toiled on the stepping machine for the first time (20mins), managed to finish 3 sets of 20 dips (ballistic), and 3 sets of 20 sit ups. Couldn't finish the pushups (did 3 sets of 10) and the pull ups (20/20/15) though.
Only paddled one round, finished the 7km in exactly one hour, easy arithmetic, so I don't think I made a calculation error -- my speed has dropped!
And I only did 8 km today. I could get down to the water to paddle now (I'm at Fred's), but it's like pulling teeth. I'm really too tired to go on. I don't think I can quite follow Fan Goh's program. So I'll have to talk to him tomorrow.
And I might end up trying to follow Siu Ming's: i.e. 40% land workouts, 60% water works, with study/research time in between. 21k+ a day is fine, but not if I didn't spend as much time working on cardiovascular and strength. More to the point, I get to take a break once or twice a week to let my paddling muscle recover.
Dreading the KAT tomorrow, I know I won't be able to perform normally; the DB->SMBWSC -> DB trip had me whipped.
