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

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
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!

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
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.
