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

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

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.

Good work Dean, and very fast improvement. I guess you'll be a good bit faster at 100m too
