New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[p_b82]

Opted for the CTC today. As the 6k is a rankable distance I thought I could try a PB. Last one being from last summer where I was in my very best shape since I started rowing.

Felt mentally and physically tired. But heart rate told my I could go for it. I beat my time by 4 second. So I think I’m fit again. Pretty proud but now I will have an easy week (and hopefully better sleep )

Congrats - Seems like you've got over your injury woes are back on track again!

Thx! Yes my right arm and shoulder are fine since I started ramping up meters again in February. I changed to slightly firmer grip and I think that made the difference.

Well done Julia. You're making notable progress, and your sub eight 2k is getting closer. I really like that last 1k

Marathon PB by accident.
It all started with "do it for the pin". I opted for the average pace of my FM I did nearly 2 years ago, so went with 2:02.x.
Halfway done I thought I could ramp up the pace, as I did in the first one as well and see how that goes. No intentions for a massive PB, as strength session yesterday and Rowbin Hood session the day before took really something out of me, which is indicated by the higher starting HR.

I've done this with no food and drinks again. Two small sips to wet my mouth at ca. 25 and 35k. At second "break" I put some small pads under my butt, as I had some discomfort the first time (more on the left side, indicating I'm not working fully symmetrical). This is why the split is a bit slower.

Marathon PB by accident.

Ha! Some accident. Huge jump in pace for the second half - shows sub 2:45 well within reach. Great stuff Sascha.

Thx Mike
It was not planned, but something klicked and I was in the game
Actually I wanted to do this 'easy' on ~2:02 all the way...
Next time fully recovered and planned. Then I can see what's possible.
