did the 2k yesterday.

average rating was like 26.
I got 7:36.2, only sprinted the last 100-150 metres though.

Im pretty sure i can go under 7:30.

Havent got the video yet,

Ill post a video on Thursday.

What should I do in the video?
Slow rating? Fast? Put power down? Just paddle?

I prefer to have a longer recovery and pull harder than shorten the recovery though.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I might record myself erging this week and post it here...
