On that note, there is a chance that I will be racing at the Head of the Charles in the masters 40+ category... I've recently gotten stuck in with a master's crew and now have 3 practices with them under my belt. Nowhere near enough boat time to feel confident in my racing ability, but am hoping I c...

Brilliant work Justin, just when I think I'm getting to some decent times, you bring a reality check :lol: 6:23.4 2,000m 1:35.8 397 1667 31 1:35.8 500m 1:35.8 398 1670 33 1:35.9 1,000m 1:35.9 397 1665 31 1:35.6 1,500m 1:35.6 401 1678 31 1:36.2 2,000m 1:36.2 393 1653 31 Was overdue a 2k test, felt t...

Two somewhat unexpected PBs this week... I wouldn't recommend attempting a 10k and 5k time trial two days apart, but circumstances dictated I get them done... Monday, 10k time trial: My goal was to sit at 1:43 splits at r28 and see what I could muster at the end. The answer was... not much. Felt I ...

Slowly creeping on my goal of 6:30 2k for BRIC. Working in London this week so conditions weren’t perfect but still very pleased with 6:38😊 https://log.concept2.com/share/2183919/91081273 Great row! I love the sub 6:30 goal. I remember when I chased it and it was a very satisfying one to hit and wh...

I have a feeling it’ll be starting slower then building the pace towards the end. I just never have the discipline to actually do that!!! Be warned, in my first rowing competition I started off at 1:34(!!) until circa 750m in when the inevitable happened and the adrenaline rush wore off and left me...

Yeah, that was silly of m...

Kixram, I used to aimlessly plod about on the erg at local gym. Massively over weight etc. Started to enjoy the buzz after a while bought my own erg. Started on PP followed plan fairly strictly and got 6:19.2 for 2k this was after doing PP for a few rounds. Stick with it I went from 26+ stones now ...

That’s phenomenal!

I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on! Good luck mate.

Congrats, Alex & Anthony, on your recent 5k achievements. Having had some mental battles with the 5k myself this past spring, I can definitely relate to the challenge! After last week's HD during a 30r20 attempt, I was feeling especially spry today so decided to give it another go: Time Meters Pace...

Alex inspired to me to stop putting off 5k best effort. So chose today of all days! (28 degrees C in my garage!) 17:45.1. https://log.concept2.com/share/2183919/90822963 It was hard and I definitely earnt this one. I find 5k worse than any other distance. Something about it just ruins me, so very h...

Wow, impressive. Even more in 28C. On my side I seem to be now totally unable to best my PBs (for anything 2K or longer) in too high temps. Even my steady state/zone 2 sessions are a PITA at the moment (32-33C in the garage). I have to slow them down a ton. Agreed, the heat makes a huge difference....

Smashing effort, well done mate!

Thanks :) I also set myself a general 2024 challenge to beat the 10 x PBs I had logged for a bunch of the standard "ranked" pieces. Managed 8/10 so far and deliberately saving the others. For 5k I have a virtual race thing in October, and the marathon I may as well use that towards the Holiday Chal...
