Ok, nailed it at 406m today (think I still have a bit more as this ended up being my 2nd attempt today- fell off seat on first attempt and only got 393- rested for about 3 hrs and went again- this attempt was still somewhat cautious as I wanted to stay in seat and just make sure I got record) I'd say 410 is doable- but now will focus on 500 for a bit- should be well set to PR the 500 I'd say

Nice job Kal-el.
You've done the work, you have the reward.

Great job! Looking forward to see what you can do with the 500m. And, of course, a lot of the other events when you hit 50 a few months from now.

Nice pull Shawn! I like your technique, nice measured long hard pulls instead of the usual blast out of the gate then visibly fade. I always say I can tell a strong rower by how their machine sounds, yours sounds like a top fuel dragster revving up on the start line.

Congratulations Shawn!

A thoroughly deserved result for your continued focus and dedication to the goals you set yourself, and as always thanks for sharing so much of your process and progress!

wow - amazing.
that start (full stroke) doesn't look very fast, but im betting its lethal.

Very nice Shawn, congrats, good work and really using your strenghts, 500 should indeed be possible to get around 1.16,5 ish

Thanks all

Was 1:07 on third stroke and about 1:10 for first 10 or so- yep video doesn't look very powerful, but staying long and somewhat smoothish definitely helps (hopefully it will better transfer to some of the longer stuff )

Nice work Shawn!

Congrats Shawn!!

You'll crush the over 50 record when the times comes!

Good effort

Congrats, man !!!

Congratulations, Shawn! Great job. What was your Drag Factor?? By the sound of the flywheel, I am guessing it was 160+. Awesome power!

Congratulations, Shawn!
And thanks for sharing your training along the way.
