New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Tandstad]

My mother-in-law was in town watching my kiddo, so I decided to sprint my 5k, see what I could do while negative splitting. It’s much easier to row without “Daddy! Watch this! Look at this!” every 10 seconds.

Nice work, negative splitting the whole session

Nice work man! Good job! Heart rate is relatively low too so you might have even more speed in you next time around!

Thanks everyone! I wasn't measuring heart rate on there, but looking at my Apple Watch it averaged 159 BPM and topped out at 177 at the end. I probably did have more in me, but it sure didn't feel like it with around 1k left.

100m PB - 14.1

As I had only time for a short session today and I didn't feel ready for a 500m TT I did the 100m. Erg was perfectly prepared (feet and drag as high as possible, enough weight on the front part, shorts that hold me on the seat), but the body was not at 100% (7 long training sessions in the last 7 days). Nevertheless it was a perfect effort, saw an 1:06 LP and crushed my previous PB by 0.3''. Now I'm sure to reach 14.0, hopefully a little bit more

What?!?!? 1:06?!?!? Is your erg handle bent out of shape?? Serious power Martin and so close to 1000 watts

Holy smokes, that is beyond fast!! 1:06 LPCongrats

[jackarabit]

Great setup and preflight. Great connection to machine! Dragstrip acceleration to low pull! Grand result, Martin!

[MartinSH4321]

Thank you very much fellas!
A big surprise for me to be that fast, definitely my strongest PB, and hopefully a good omen for the coming 500

Can only echo everyone else... that's ridiculous power Martin and you aren't even doing many weights at the moment

I'd say you pretty much nailed the short session! What was so urgent that you had to leave the gym 0.3s early?!?

Outstanding work. The 56s/m is something in its own right.

Thank you, a few months ago I was super happy to reach sub 15'' and 14'' sounded totally crazy!

Congrats on the PB

Thank you Dino! I think the short max efforts at low SPM helped, but to reach sub14 I'll lift some weights if necessary

I had a sick kid at home, so every tenth of a second counts

Guys with a fast lowpull, you , often need to use the fly and die approach. Use that topspeed, fast first 300, hang on the 4th, and die the last 100.

Ps, how about your other powerstuff? How fast do you run a 100m, what is your broadjump etc. just curious.
