Vacation Workout #1 - Row 5k

So today Daniel and I had a few minutes to head to the gym after our tour of Manila.  The hotel gym is pretty standard - a few ellipticals, a few treadmills, etc.  The DID have to C2 rowers, though, so while Daniel opted to do 'pushup Nicole', I opted to row 5 k.  I didn't want to do anything so strange the gym personnel would feel they needed to speak to me about it.

Time: 23:36 - Big PR - by about 2.5 minutes, although, to be fair, I've only rowed 5k one other time.  My time at the 2k mark was nothing to write home about: 9:25.  But I managed to keep my pace at about 2:20 throughout at about 24-25 strokes/min - kicking it up to 2:17-2:20 at 27-29 strokes/minute for the last 500m.  It took several minutes for me to feel like moving after i was done.  I felt a little bad about sweating all over the very tidy gym.

Comments:
My hip was still pretty unhappy with me, and i can't even reliably do a .5 BW clean & jerk - let alone 33 of them. So I did more rowing.
