Of course he can't and of course he wont. Don't worry, 3 weeks from now we will all know the truth and his long charade will be over. He is fully trained. He is fully sharpened. When he pulls his 6:45+ at BIRC he'll be exactly what we know him to be...a good 60 year old erger. Unfortunately that doesn't require 500 pages of thread so he'll disappear forever. This is his last shot at glory and he can't provide a single shred of evidence that he's anywhere near where he claims to be. Don't expect him to sit on an erg at BIRC.H2O wrote:You cannot do it at any heart rate.ranger wrote:

If you could do that you could row 1:45 for 30 mins.
This would be a solid workout for your anaerobic threshold, useful to you even now.
So why not do it and post it?
Or give us 5K @1:43, something you should be (but are not) able to do.
This would be an even more useful workout for you at this stage as it hits VO2max solidly.

Yes, this is indeed the problem for you; thus, all the anxiety you express here, and project onto me.Navigation Hazard wrote:Oh, and you cannot come close to 90 minutes of unbroken rowing at 1:49 pace r22 "with a UT2 HR" at any drag factor possible in our universe. Fraud. I doubt you can do 1500m at 1:49 r22 with a genuine UT2 HR. Maybe you can row for 90 cumulative minutes with the occasional stroke at 1:49 r22, and lots of slower strokes that are de facto breaks, and keep your HR in the UT2 range.
This is admirable, and handles one side of the 2K--its power requirements. But the 2K is not a sprint. To predict a 2K, you need to match these sprints with a comparable 10K, one that also predicts in and around a 1:35/6:20 2K. 10K is done at 2K + 8, so that is 1:43 for 10K.NavigationHazard wrote:Here's today's bit of sharpening. I figured that if Fraudger couldn't do an 8 x 500m interval set, I'd do a second one....
That's 16 x 500m on 2' rest, seriously negative-splitted, at an average 1:35.5 pace. The last 8 were at an average 1:34.0 pace. And #16 was rather lumpy.
Just because I could, I added the 15 x 200m/2' rest that some of the UK Forum crowd are doing:
That's 15 x 200m on 2' rest, seriously lumpy, at an average 1:21.8 pace. #15 was at 1:19.7 pace.
See you at BIRC, fraud. Remember: when you fail to make weight, you're in my race.
For the last couple of years, I have had the best 2K in my age and weight division (right around WR 2K pace for my age and weight), by an increasing margin, pulling at max drag, still struggling with technique, and therefore without even sharpening for my races, just by training through the racing season, as I do at other times of the year, continuing to work on my technical effectiveness and efficiency, just cross-training hard so that I make weight and keep my fitness high.snowleopard wrote:Y' know you're right.

I too, think he will not show up at BIRC...too many eyes on him, plus the fact that someone may get of a copy of his stroke data. He won't dare risk being scrutinized.aharmer wrote: Don't worry, 3 weeks from now we will all know the truth and his long charade will be over. He is fully trained. He is fully sharpened.

What's really sad is that if he pulls a 6:45 at BIRC he won't be congratulated for his accomplishment, but lampooned for his antics (and a 6:45 for someone who is 59.9 is an awesome achievement ... even more so if he really can make LWT). I'm almost 35 and cannot wait for the day that I'll pull 6:45, if I could do so at 59.9 I'd be ecstatic.aharmer wrote:He is fully sharpened.

Liar, you claim to do 90 mins at 149/22, HR120. Didn't you just say recently that erging at HR 120 is a complete waste of time and you'd rather dream of erging in your bed? Didn't you also recently say that erging at 22spm is a waste of time for somebody like you? You don't do these things, but you do them. Interesting. Why don't you show us something...ANYTHING...that you've actually done. Monitor is in working order.

Sure, but not if you rowed 6:29.7 four years ago, pulling at max drag, still struggling with technique, and without even preparing for it; and have rowed about 30 million meters since that time, concentrating on learning to row well at low drag (both OTW and OTErg) and then sharpening for six months to be maximally prepared to race.luckylindy wrote: if I could do [6:45] at 59.9 I'd be ecstatic
