I'm a 76 year-old male who uses a C2 Model D with PM3 computer 2 or 3 times a week to stay in shape. I mix it in with a treadmill and a recumbent bike.

30 minutes
6252 Meters
117 Watts
346 "True" Calories
8.6 Mets
VO2 Uptake 30.1 ml/kg/min

Not a PB but I feel good about it.

Thank you very much! I completely agree; I'm definitely going to test sometime in the very near future. I have some flexibility over the next week to pick the day / time that I feel best to make the most of it. Here's to some kind of PR soon!
Please make sure you do. I tried to beat the 100k British record but I let my ego dictate my decisions beforehand and I still thoroughly regret it. I really want to minimise the amount of people that make the same mistake. Time is precious and your future isn't promised.

Doing anything other than walking, or possibly just existing, is an effort for most 76 year olds, so you definitely need to be very proud of this. I know I would be if I'm still erging at 76.

After the 1k and gym session of yesterday I thought it could be a bit draining today, but the session felt really good.
Increased the drag a little bit to 117 and rowed blind again, only remaining time and HR visible.

CTC first attempt today.
Warmup 5k without fan to really get into it and get a sweat.
First 3k more like UT2/1, then gradually ramping up with some bursts at target pace.

3:34.7	5,000m	1:47.3	283	1273	24	163
Then some bodyweight stuff, stretching and deep breathing for 10min or so, before I went for the 1k:

0:38.2	1,000m	1:35.5	402	1682	38	173
I miss a bit raw power at the moment, so my starting splits are slower compared to my PB, but I was only 0.2s off from it.
Not fully recovered from my little illness/cold, so satisfied with the result for now.
2k cooldown

Great result! The 1K has always been my best distance.....wasn't really thinking about doing a 1K TT right now but I may have to give it a go.

Thx Keith!
You definitely need to go for it!
I'm waiting for all the big guys pushing me down the list :lol:
Currently on 6th position, but it won't last long...
I hope to improve until end of the month, so I can climb up a bit, but many big guys did not rank a score yet.
