New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Scott Lewis]

New 30r20 PB:
7434m
Not much of a PB, only 9m but the last time I did a 30r20 was last Wednesday! Didn't really want to do this but it was a club test night. More concerned about the 2k on Thursday! I reckon I'll try and hold 1:48.

Beat my 6k PB with 22:40.9 which was an improvement of about 10s.

Actually a bit disappointed - I was really flagging the last 2k. I think 6k pace should be 2K + 7 or 8s and this was more like 8.9. Especially when I set a really decent 5k PB just a week ago.

Good job DNA! I am sure next time you'll go faster.

@ Scott a PB is a PB even if it's only 1m more.

@ DNA, 10secs is a great improvement and the good thing is you've probably got more to give too

Great improvement, congrats!
When posting a new PB it would be really great to see the split times. Makes it a bit more interesting than just a number

Finally! I can brag about a new 2000m PB! Test night tonight. Maybe wasn't feeling the absolute best I could but I was feeling quite good.
I could tell from the start that this was going to be a painful one. Kept it conservative at the start and I reckon that paid off for the end as I had to even split.
End result:

7:17.4 @1:49.4

The pacing was a bit of a mish mash. I reckon it was quite flat on average though. I reckon this is how I work best. It's funny how in that last hundred metres you just seem to separate from your body as you watch the splits go down. All the pain goes away in the last 100!
I reckon the rating was a bit high for me at the start and that affected the piece a bit.
Very happy to be able to finally say I've got a 2k PB though!!!

Well done Scott.

Sorry it was on a club erg... Only a minute off of your PB now, you had better watch out!

You forgot the 4 tenths Scott, that makes all the difference

Good job on your PB. I've no doubt you'll soon be going a lot faster.

I have no problem with better younger guys beating me Keep it up and you can potentially go sub 6' in the future

Not sure there are many "sprinters" still posting here....

New best for 1min, 377m. Probably have the capacity to squeeze out another 10-20m with some more training.

Hey @jmac - Awesome, lowest rate I have seen on my erg is 1:26. I guess I have a lot more lifting to do.

Awesome job

David
