Of course, he'll run into it soon enough, but it would be a vision of the Holy Virgin to a young collegiate varsity lightweight like Paul Bloom to pull 90min 1:50 @ 20 spm (13 SPI) rather than 90min 2:10 @ 20 spm, 20 seconds per 500m slower.
13 SPI is rowing well for a lightweight.
2:10 @ 20 spm is 8 SPI.
That;s rowing like a 60-year-old lwt.
What's the game?
Let's see who can beat grandpa?

Been there, done that.
The work on my weaknesses is done.
I now row well.
Sp now _everything_ is strong.
I am no longer working on my weaknesses.
I am doing no low rate, foundational rowing at all.
I am training to race.

Smart investments can produce big paydays.
Or haven't you noticed?
Spending for short term gains just exhausts slight resources, scant to begin with.
Over the last 10 years, the stock market has made nothing at all.
But I have averaged about 12% a year over that period.
Over the last 15 years, I have increased my investments 10-fold.
Hmm.
Nice payday--coming up soon.

Your memory is short.hjs wrote:7.30 here he comes again.
Last year, my foundational rowing produced a 6:41.
That was the best for my age and weight by three seconds.
I suspect that 6:41 is the best anyone my age and weight (i.e., a 58-year-old lightweight) has ever rowed.
The best in the history of the sport?
Without even preparing for it?
Hmm.
I get about a dozen seconds each from (1) hard distance rowing and (2) hard sharpening.
Hmm.

yeah that's what I predicted remember, that row made you own me 1000 $, the interest on that is nicely mounting up.ranger wrote:Your memory is short.hjs wrote:7.30 here he comes again.

Another comparable session this afternoon.
My goal for this vacation is a daily 150min erg, 150min bike--in a single session or some combination of sessions.
