Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
New 30 Minute PB - 8444!
Decided to give the 30 minute a try for the CTC and it was "low hanging fruit" as my old PB was done in 2020 and was about the same pace as my 10K PB. That said, I am very happy with result. I spent a lot of time working on 1K leading up to March so a longer TT didn't seem to be optimal for me right now. However, I decided I wanted to try for 8400 and possibly sub 1:47 pace. Plan was to do first 6 minutes at 1:46, then 1:47 for next 12 minutes, then fight and do what I could from 18-24 minutes and then hold on for last 6 minutes. Row went close to plan as the first 18 minutes were almost exactly what I wanted. The 18-24 was miserable as always and I slowed some and was really doubting I could maintain but fought thru it. Then in last 6 minutes I lowered a little to 1:47 again to try and ride that out for 3 minutes and then to my surprise in last 3 minutes I was able to go faster to end the last 6 minutes at 1:45 flat. Stroke rate was 2 higher than my previous PB (27 compared to 25):
Time/MTRS/Pace/SPM
30:00/8444/1:46.5/27
06:00/1698/1:46.0/28
