Dean, can that really be harder than a 6:40 thrash? Big, big effort!

the cramp with 3k to go was one of biblical proportions...
the only thought was - i ned to finish under the target - no way im going to do it again...

still need to do a 2k though.... not looking forward to that. *shudders*

[G-dub]

Amazing accomplishment Dean! The mental discipline required to do something like that is incredible I would assume.

nope - you're right there Henry
Rating up that high (30+) for a 2k is killing me at the moment. I'm probably low 6:5x @R28, but thats only a rough idea.Yet to do any serious fast "short" pieces.
I might suprise myself, but honestly i'm just a coward. havent done a 2k since January 2016 (6:57), which was before swapping my training - since then its been about 4 Million Meters - all at min 9W /stroke (albeit at R18/20).
Aerobic and drive strength was my main targets this year - still working on it
I keep putting it off as I dont have a 2k race this year (next is 30min TT) - thats what I keep telling myself anyway.. but who knows. I might just feel the need during the holidays -
maybe when crazybear has finished

No need to do a 2k, you simply like the long work. It gives you a base, but for a 2k you need yo build a peak. But like you say, if you feel like it do some some 500 Reps. Speed should pick up fast. If not.. So what.

Very impressive, toyed with trying that same goal but all of the horror stories about the difference between HM and FM made me reconsider. Congrats!
