Congratulations Jack!

Happy to think I contributed to those meters with our little arms race last year.
No chance of a repeat of that this year though, we may still be locked down here but I'm allowed on the water.
sadly those don't count towards the WEC.

Als je een PM5 hebt kun je ook ergworld.com gebruiken tegenwoordig..
Zit zelf nog met een PM3 dus kan geen ervaringen delen.

We are shaping up for a spot in the top 40 of the spring VIII's challenge.. punching slightly above our weight in the 2k just as we did in the 30m. I've had a very good time putting in the challenge efforts for this with you all these past few weeks. Was afraid an empty time was ahead but by a strok...

I think we will break 7 if Martin's time is put in (have you ranked it already Martin?). Hope to see some more entries before the deadline, looks like the 2k is daunting to many (is to me usually), but if you just sit down and pull it like you would any other distance (as best you can) then it reall...

I request everyone to kindly pardon my french but: <expletive deleted> YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH Just pulled a new 2K PR of 6:52.3 and am very happy with that. Sat down in PR or ER mode again, changed tactics to something even my lizard brain can remember when in the pain cave: Dont let the number h...

Unleashed some fury there Jack, good work.

Must remember to do another minute myself some time next week, the one I put up on the CTC was the 20th interval of my 1m on/1m off session last monday.

I was planning my week toward a 2k attempt today (sprintwork on monday, SS on tuesday), but then this evening I was feeling weak and tired :oops: Because I couldn't rule out that the prospect of a 2k was what ailing me I decided to have a sitdown on the erg and just put in a careful marker. Ended up...

Martin, what a brutal minute! Good going, I can barely hit sub 1:20 at full yam with my ~100kg. Just finished off 2 sets of 10x1min on/1min off with 30-32-34-36-32 rate pyramids.. was looking to see if Cam Buchan's 30x1/1 was anywhere near feasible for a mere mortal like me but after the first 10 de...

Theoretically I should be able to come close to my 2k PB, based on the numbers I've been pulling lately. My PB was 79th percentile back then. I think the aim will be to sink my teeth into a 1:45 split and see where it takes me. It helps to have a 'minimum' split in mind. In my case if I see 1:46's I...

I just put in 1176 meters for the 4' challenge.. God am I bad at these longish sprint distances.. I manage to hit 80th or higher percentile on most distances but not on 1-2k. My high rate endurance has always been poor and you cant muscle your way through 3+ minutes as you can with a 500. This point...

Happy with my time though, under the 1:40 split I was aiming for and it gives me a good benchmark for next weeks 2k. Probably this pace +3 or +4. Ronald, if I could pull a 1:43.5 2k 3 years ago with a 1:30.0 500 and a 1:39 1k, then you should certainly be capable of at least a 1:42 split for 2k wit...

Nice one Ronald, I haven't spotted you in the rankings so I assume you haven't uploaded your 4m yet? Did some sprintwork myself today, was high time since I didn't touch any fast stuff last week to avoid it getting in the way of the 30m efforts. But with a 4m coming up I thought it would be wise to ...

Took another swing at the 30 minutes this evening (mantra: PR or ER). Managed to nibble 1.5s/500m off my previous avg split finishing with 7894 meters (1:54). I was quite chuffed with the distance right after I finished, but now those 6 missing meters are a bummer. But no more for me this week, I am...

Wow, the flying first boat seems to be coming out swinging for a strong 3rd round.. currently holding 1st, but there are not many entries yet. Kind of figures that most other teams are late with floating an 8 this week.. it's much less hassle to pull a quick 500m than to sit through 30m. Having seen...
