I'll do an easy 500m tomorrow @ 40 spm, just to loosen up for racing, nothing hard.

that would be 1:27.5.

If you pull 13 SPI, you only need to rate 40 spm to do a 500m in 1:27.5.

That's a cinch, although you are right: it's _way_ under the 60s lwt WR, which is right around 1:30.

But again, you can,t do it, so again a no show from the mister Naydoer

So you are saying that as a 59 year-old lwt you are 2.4 seconds faster than a 60 year old WR holder going flat out while you are taking it easy?

How about some pregame?? Show the 8x500 screenshot today!

I repeat.

If you pull 13 SPI, as I do now, you only have to rate 40 spm in a 500m to go 1:27.5.

40 spm is a cinch.

Many lightweights pull 40 spm at the ends of 2Ks.

You rate 46 spm when you do a 500m.

Technique is important.

I used to pull 10 SPI like you.

So, I had to rate 52 spm to go 1:27.5.

No longer.

I have learned how to use my legs in proper timing and sequencing with my back and arms, all rhythmized into a smooth cycle, with good posture and preparation on the rail and solid footwork at the footplate.

If I pull 13 SPI, as I am, that would be 1:27.5.

58 strokes?

Now, a few hours later it's become " If I row at 13 spi and 40 spm..."

That's a quick change in a prognostication!

Why not put a HR MONITOR on so we can hear how you did it at UT2?

IOW: Why lie? We still don't believe you. Sayin'it don'na mak't so...&c.

[ranger]

Why not put a HR MONITOR on

Sure, I'll wear a heart rate monitor when I do the 500m tomorrow morning.

I always do during sharpening.

It is fun to see what my heart is doing--and important.

It's fun to be watching times and distances, too, after all these years, racing rather than training.

You rate 46 spm when you do a 500m.

Really:

I guess that it's pointless to convince you otherwise... But it's all in my blog... 3 years worth of (boring) data.. Still, the data is indispensable when it comes to you mendacity.

*2k warm up

What's your 500m lwt time at 36 spm (not 46) this year after doing two long intervals such as a 1250 plus a 750m ahead of it?

See my signature below?
There's a link to what I actually do. What a novel concept !
I encourage people who take ranger at his word to cross reference the ranking dates of my performances against my blog (where the details of each of such ranked workouts will be)

To bad you've chosen to row against the open lwts at Boston this year. Takes a while for you to get to weight each day doesn't it? As you don't choose to face me, I suppose there's no point blowing smoke at each other here until 2012 when were in the same age group again.

Bye-bye, until 2012! Your ticket to get me back on any of your threads is achievement of any one of your stated goals in your signature as they stand today.

I'll go out on a limb here. 16 lbs of fat. I didn't know your head was that big. But then again you seen to have an ego that puts Kobe to shame.

How bout posting some screen shots of your "really rowing well" training?

Hi Mike,
I see Ranger is registered for your race as well as the later open ltw race at Boston.

I will do a 500m tomorrow, but only 1:27.5 @ 40 spm, given that I am racing Saturday.

Before the end of the winter racing season, I think I'll get to 1:24 @ 46 spm.

I'll also try to post a shot of (1) a maxHR during my interval workout, and (2) a warm up 10K, say, 1: 50 @ 24 spm, showing my HR.

1:50 is right around UT2 for me (145 bpm).

Can Mike even row 10K @ 1:50?

I don't know.

He would run a similar HR in a similar row, but for him, that is above his anaerobic threshold.

AT

For me, 145 bpm is not even low-end UT1.

My anaerobic threshold is 172 bpm.

I am now running heart rates in the high 160s for an hour or so in my distance rowing, pushing up toward 170 bpm.

What's your 500m lwt time at 36 spm

??

My goal is to do 2K at around 36 spm, not 500m.

No plan to pull 9.5 SPI doing it, though, like you and Rocket last year.

I am now pulling 12-13 SPI for 2K.

1:37 @ 31 spm (12.5 SPI) is getting _very_ comfortable.

That's probably what I'll try to do at Indianapolis.

I know I swore off the thread but this is just to much

Rich: You are going to post a pic showing
- 500m in 1min 27.5 seconds
- 10,000m in 36min 40sec (1.50 average pace)

is that what you are saying? Yes/No? I dont need any lecture about how easy it is, or how you did so an so back in whenever..

just yes or no.

[ranger]

Yes.
