Very good Alex. Tbh your 5k looked light once you'd got that 10k in the bank. Looks weaker still now!

[winniewinser]

Cheers Stu

Thx Martin...still newbie gains I reckon

Yeah I think the 5km should fall again soon......I'm also looking to push out to 1hr and maybe HM.

Very good Alex. Tbh your 5k looked light once you'd got that 10k in the bank. Looks weaker still now!

Cheers Max

Are you back on the rower now? I'm finding less and less rowjo atm.

Yeah will focus on the rower throughout the SH winter and then back to more skierg from September with an eye on the November 1k sprints.

March-August row focused.
September-February ski focused.

Makes sense for the challenges and the weather (don't want to be rowing when it's 40degC, but gym where I skierg has good aircon).

Now all I need to do is avoid training ADD.

Fortunately....we don't have such extreme seasons in weather.....just avoid the week we get of summer heat .....then enjoy the drizzle, cloud and cold the rest of the time

Looking forward to see some new rowing PB's from you.....sub 7 this year

I remember it well. It never really rains... but it never really stops either.

Sub 7 will be the focus actually. The TdS underlined how hard it is to do lots of flat out TTs and in my - ahem - very late 40s, I don't think it's possible to do justice to the 10 pieces I've got on my sig for both ergs. That would be a flat out TT every 2.5 weeks or so, which just isn't achievable.

So yep, sub 7 hopefully, before I get too old.

Just barely squeaked out a 1000m PB

2:55.0 1,000m 1:27.5 522 2098 42
0:34.8 200m 1:27.0 532 2129 41
0:34.9 400m 1:27.2 527 2113 41
0:34.9 600m 1:27.2 527 2113 40
0:35.0 800m 1:27.5 522 2098 43
0:35.4 1,000m 1:28.5 505 2037 46

Been looking forward to rowing a fast 1k during World Virtual Indoor sprints, but I’m honestly disappointed by this one. I’ve worked night shifts on 7 of the past 9 nights and my sleep quality has been very poor. I think I’m closer to 2:52 speed if I’m well rested and doing it on a good day. Im going to keep at the 500/1000m training and give it another go later this spring

a PR is a PR - congratulations! sorry you didn't hit your goal speed but not surprising given your lack of sleep

I'm looking at that sr - wowee, you must be really motoring. Inspiring to me. I'm trying to get my rate up from 35 to 37 for my 1k this weekend - you're taller than me and getting 5 more than my goal speed. Well done

(also...there's 2 days left...you think you can rest up and go again?)
