Working/Holidays

During the 2 week holiday break we had I worked with my father at his work place. I was expecting to just be doing a simple job that I normally do when I work there that takes minimal effort but work had just hit a busy patch and it was full on. I was working at a wool store in Timaru from 8am-5pm Monday to Friday. I was all go from start to end shifting bales, pressing wool, unloading trucks and more. It was a lot of lifting work which was hard but I was getting used to it by the end. I worked hard constantly and this shows in my graphs when the have a dramatic increase. I had planned to go to the gym in Timaru but they are so expensive and by the time I had finished work I just wanted to sleep. I know I gained upper body strength from working as I could see an increase in my muscle and I was able to lift heavier bales by the end of two weeks. I think this helped in my training a lot as I had gained muscle which would have helped with my rowing when driving through my legs and then pulling with my arms.
