Yesterday I recorded a PB on the 10,000 m: 53:46.2 min (2:41.1 ave split). My previous, back in Dec. 2013 (before all the years of chemo), was 55:25.5 min. This is the longest I've rowed without rest breaks since that time. It ranks me #1 of 4 in the little old lady category (at least until more re...

10K done!!! Not my PB but the goal was a sub 40min 10k and just barely got it. Splits Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 39:54.5 10,000m 1:59.7 204 1001 24 150 Glad to have that in the rear view. Guess I’ll see how I feel tomorrow to determine what race that will be. My legs are burning! That's a gr...

I talked my 12 year old daughter, Maddie, into giving this heptathlon a try. She did the 1 minute on the bike thinking it would be easy. She cranked out a 1:55.1 pace. I was so proud of her. She typically rides at around a 3 minute pace. The competition bug bit her. Way to go Maddie! This is a grea...

I have a busy day ahead, so I'm going to knock out the 1 minute and the 1,000m rows. So that I can rerow the 1 min again later in the week. A heptathlon! What a great challenge to get back in the saddle on! I feel better after my break and am anxious to get back into regular rowing. BTW I got teste...

So what’s everyone rowing on Monday? I am going to knock out the 10k first thing. I just hope I can turn in a competitive time. I think I might follow your lead with the 10k if I feel good tonight. Then maybe alternate between rankable and non-rankable events. While I know I want to get some scores...

Who's ready for more pain? https://log.concept2.com/challenges/heptathlon Paine is my last name!! I am leaving town tomorrow for a week at the beach with family. Now I am packing the ERG on the trip so I can participate in the Heptathlon!! My wife says I'm sick :lol: but there are worse things to o...

Dang Zach with with the 6:44, blistering and congrats Gary on the 7:09. Y’all are sho nuff rowers. Like Brett said I’m happy to be back to the grind and if I ever have to row this type of competition again maybe I can get faster. I would still love to do a sub 7 2k one day, but I don’t want to train...

I attempted my first ever 2,000M time trial this morning. It was a spectacular failure LOL. Flamed out with about 400M left. I guess I came out of the gates too fast, but I WANT TO GO FAST. Will try again tomorrow. Splits Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 6:22.9 1,600m 1:59.6 204 1003 25 156 0:51.8...

I saw Hamish Bond posted this from his New Zealand GARAGE. https://i.imgur.com/PjpOzgl.jpg Extremely fast, but not the World Record. Looks like Josh Dunkley-Smith of AUS holds the WR at 5:35.8, but I think Hamish was looking at the 30-39 WR of 5:36.6, which has been held by Rob Waddell (also of NZ,...

Shabana, I hope you are feeling better and the tests are negative. Take your time getting better and don’t rush it! Keep us posted.

With the final week of the spring series coming up next week, it might be good to start talking about pacing for the 2km test/event. A lot of the events we've been doing have been designed to help us zero in on our 2km time. I've been using/abusing http://danwork.blogspot.com/p/pauls-law.html to he...

I set the drag on 10 and got a serviceable run. Pace was 1:48 or so.

Buck 48 is respectable for sure. I’ve never rowed a 4 min but My goal is 1:45
