My first race, rowing well (12 SPI) at low drag (100 df.), fully prepared, will be a FM @ 1:48.
That FM will predict all of my other targets, including 2K.
I will then go on to race the other events, from the top down (HM, 60min, 10K, 30min, 6K, 5K), hitting those targets.
Then I will sharpen.
Then I will race 2K.
For me, this is just standard race preparation.
If I indeed pull a FM @ 1:48, my training over the last few years will beat predictions by 10 seconds per 500m.
Given my FM pb of 1:54 ten years ago, the prediction is that I will now pull 1:58 for a FM.
Veterans usually decline with age at the rate of about four seconds per 500m per decade.
