Sweet! Mine is the same Vapor Fitness seat pad then. Have been very pleased with it and it's been on my erg for a solid year now. Glad it's helped reduce your suffering :).
Nice, so when do the performance benefits kick in? :lol:
Patience, young grasshopper... in due time :D

I'm leaning towards giving the FM a go... yesterday's session to get a feel for a realistic target pace and cadence gave me the nudge and confidence boost I think I needed.

3x9999m (the largest interval the PM will accept, who'd have known?), with undefined rest periods that ended up being just over 3' each. First time using the "Undefined Rest" feature. Neat!

Code: Select all

Time	Meters	Pace	Watts	Cal/Hr	S/M	
1:51:31.7	29,997	1:51.5	252	1168	24	145
37:03.7	9,999	1:51.1	255	1176	24	146
r: 3:20	17						
37:11.9	9,999	1:51.6	252	1166	24	144
r: 3:16	16						
37:16.0	9,999	1:51.8	250	1161	24	147
r: 0:19	23						
r56
Used this as an opportunity to test out my tech (making a time lapse on the GoPro), fuel, hydration, posterior pain mitigation, and anti-chafing measures. Better than expected!

Some very specialist info, 'Just Row' only goes to 50k before it resets.

I really like undefined rests, as it gives you good options and a safety net if it all goes against expectations
