New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[APM]

50 km today. 4 1/2 hours including bathroom break, hip stretches and a lot of whining...heh heh heh

No real pace changes - it was more mental work. And I found a new type of pain never experienced before My insides hurt on this one.

Wow, that really is a great effort. Congrats!

Good work! Especially on that 60 minute piece. If you started concentrating on power you'll drop that 2k in no time. Seems like you're a lot better at the longer distances right now.

At the PRRA erg classic yesterday morning: 2K, 6:32.1, season PB by... 0.3 seconds.

The most balanced splits (slightly negative) of my three 2Ks this season.

Congrats! A very respectable time!

I set a PR in the 10k yesterday, 39:20 @ 1:58 even. It was in a 40' piece, and a 40' piece that I wasn't even TRYING in. Very happy with that. Today I went out for a light 15k with one of our coaches (he graduated last year so there's still some competitive drive in him), did mine in 1:00:43.5, which is about 3' faster than my last PR and still nowhere near what I could do strapped in.

Congratulations, macnoth. The medal looks good on you!

Well done, Paul. So next time strap in and show us what you can do.

Thanks guys. I'll cherish that medal, it's my first and could well be my last in rowing! It was a pleasant spring day and a pleasant event. Thanks to Nav Haz for drawing my attention to this race, taking the picture and giving me a ride back to Manhattan. His leisurely (23spm+a short sprint) 6:39 was good for a medal of his own to go with his hammers and ice scrapers .

Paul, bama, nice work.

Bah, nothing really to brag about. Actually I had the idea to try a new 5k PB, but after the warming up, I didn't feel like pulling a full 5k, thus I scaled it down a bit and went for a new 4min PB
Even achieved a new PB, however, didn't manage to get these 1200... for the moment I'll have to settle for 1190m

Lesson of the day: Don't try to do PBs after having stuffed yourself with ample amounts of tasty snacks at a company jubilee event

There was a little indoor race day here in Durham today. Entered the 2K, 1K, and 500m. PR'd in the 2K (6:52) and 1K (could have sworn it was 3:12 but when I checked to official record later on, they had 3:13.6 both of which are PRs, so I'm cool with it).

My 500m heat was literally 20 minutes after the 1K and I completely melted down the last 250. No fireworks there, it turns out. Actually barely rowed faster than my 500 splits I rowed the 1K in.
