Finally got the pacing of the 10k figured out. My former PB was 36:55, and I have tried 4-5 times lately to go sub 36, but not being able to. Today was finally the day, and happy not only to break it, but crushing it 😎💪

New PB: 35:24.1 :)
Boom nice. :D

I'm not sure what is better your PB or increase in PB. Very well done and it's a time I'm very envious of. Maybe there is hope for me

just started erging again, and only 1-2 days a week so doubt I'll be visiting here often. my 2k PB is done easy off i reckon...

but i did pull a tiny improvement in my 5k time, to 19:48. ultimate aim there is sub 19:00 but spending moreb time on the bikeerg right now.

keep paddling people!

Had a couple of days rest and done a warm up then tried for a 500m PB.
I felt I had a bit more in me from my PB earlier in the week, knocked 3 seconds off that time.

Got 1:22.7 happy with that 6 weeks after my first attempt at any rowing.

Simply went off faster in the first 7/8 strokes then picked it up a bit until 200m ish, then hold on and just try to get that average time to at least hold or drift as little as possible. Also I found keeping the strokes longer towards the end rather than shortening too much I believe worked out better.

Enjoying a different challenge.

Cheers Dean.
