@Stu - Thanks, and hopefully I'll PB again next week. Simply going out a little less fast and not HDing should see me go a little further. After that I'll be switching to 10k and trying to go sub 38.
@hjs - my plan had been to row the first 20 minutes at 1:52.5 (mixture of 1:52s and 1:53s) then see about speeding up a little for the final 10 minutes depending on how I felt, but I got carried away and didn't stick to the plan. That's what I meant by badly paced, though perhaps over ambitious is a more accurate descriptions.
I agree that it would probably be better if I could rate a little higher. I suspect if I pulled the same split, but at 25, it would be a fair bit easier. I'm still struggling to reduce the power of my drive though, so at the moment when I rate up to 25 I'll automatically row at 1:50/1:49.
@JMac - it does indeed, although of course now I want to go further
I'd guess it won't take you all that long to hit when you turn your focus to it.
