It's great to see Henry. I didnt realise that you were training so much. Is your logbook on Concept 2?

Yes, c2 logbook, easy to find via the rankings. My current volume is the highest I ever did, used to do more other shorter stuff.

Two PB's in 3 days...

1K went from a 3:15.5 to a 3:14 on Thursday... Then I smashed my 2000m PB today by going from a 7:04.6 to a 6:58.1 !!! All that hard piece training I've been doing recently for the 1K Virtual Sprints has translated in a hell of a week...

Congrats Lance! Keep that momentum going

Had something posted but its not there....

Ski pb 6k 147.3 tough going, not doing great this week. Still record three, but need to revisite this one at a better moment.
Goal was 146.5, but soon had to let that go today.

Thanks everyone! It took 14 months of focused training to go from 9:32 to 6:58.1 in the 2K... but that 1K last Thursday was what really pushed me over the top. I was SO nervous before that piece and had serious doubt about being able to manage my previous PB pace of 1:37.7... However, after managing a 1:37 pace for 3:14, I realized that it was time to strike on a sub 7 attempt because 1:45 pace for 7 minutes no longer seemed so intimidating.

The bad news... Now I have to go sub 6:58

First look at your 5k. And think bigger, 6.50 is next...

@Lance Congrats!!!

@ Lance, really well done on the PB and that's a massive leap in time too for the 2k.

Pretty sure I could have hit 7:01 or 7:02 at the Canadian Indoor Rowing Championship last month but I held back a bit because I wanted to do a solid piece with "no pauses". Next up is my 10K.... want to go from 1:58.9 pace to a 1:57.5 or better....

Nice 2k Lance! Huge improvement and welcome to the sub-7 club. Next stop, sub 6:50. I kinda wish I'd done a 2k when I started back seriously in July so I could track my progress from there.

hjs wrote:First look at your 5k.

Agreed. Your 5k could probably be beaten fairly easily on any given day at the moment, and with a bit of focused preparation sub 18:30 should be doable.

30 minute rowpro session for me today as a warmup for my personal training this evening. I was looking for an easy row, but the two other rowers that joined were beasts and flew ahead of me at the start. I settled in at 22spm and was inspired watching those two go at it. The leader bested me by 1100m at the end, but I wound up with a new PB for 30 minutes so I was pleased. My last prior PB was 6870m so I was happy to finally cross 7km.

Good job!
It is nice when we pass certain numbers, like the 7 km.
