New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[winniewinser]

Thanks mate!

No doubt you'll crush your PB, the long time of discomfort can be really daunting but from time to time we nevertheless should give it a try

I'm actually looking to do a HM tomorrow or Sunday....not full tilt for obvious reasons but I should be able to get close.

60' PB - 15.779m (+118m)

This was a very hard effort for me, plan was to stay >235W for the first 45' and then see how I feel, but I didn't feel 100% fit and slowed down to 230W. At the end I wanted to reach 15.800m but did a false calculation, started the final sprint too late.
Nevertheless I'm happy to have struggled through and get a new PB, on a very good day I think I can reach for 15.900, the magic 16k not that far away anymore

Nice one Martin - you have added ~700m in a just over a year... that's very good going!!

Thanks Dino! Yeah, that's a lot of meters more, but now it will be harder and harder to improve

Nice one buddy! You beat me by 8 meters! We keep pushing eachother to a higher level. Now try to beat my HM time, then I'll try your 5 or 10k

Great work there Martin but did you let someone row the last 1k!? Surely the real Martin does it in 1:42.0!

Seriously though, great work.

Yeah, but I fear the 8m won't last for long, your next effort will be >16k I bet I'm curious to see your 5k and 10k, sub18 and sub37 for sure!

Thanks Alasdair, not much left in the tank at the end.
Saw your 30', bad you just missed a PB by only a few meters, but good you're back in top form, also promising for fast 10k and 5k!

Good Day,
I mean, why not? Or What If?

Finished all 4 May challenges this morning with a PB

50k at 3 hr 38 min 44 sec or 2:11.7

I was still sore from the century on Monday and trying to keep up with the Pete Plan, so I think there is some room in this score.

Hope you all keep kicking butt and pushing hard.

Wow, well done David. All four challenges are a massive task

[jbhop5857]

Thanks Danger
How on earth did you get 153 in 12 hours? I know you like the distance and if I recall you do it for charity, but I have looked at a million different split times and I can’t figure it out with breaks and things. Impressed.

It was a bit messy. As it wasn't a rankable distance and I wanted to actually row for 12hrs so I did the first part as Just Row (which resets at 50k, which I didn't know until it happened) at 2:16.6 pace in 3hrs 48. Then I did 2hrs 12m at 2:17.1 to get it up to six hours.

Then I did six hours, as one interval, with quite a few stops, at 2:30.4 pace, and then finally another 10 mins to account for any breaks that I had throughout the day at 2:11 pace. The end total was 153,199m.

If it was rankable and I stood a chance of getting a national record it would have been inputted differently

Serious mileage this week and a great 50k time so soon after your 100. Far better than my effort!
You must be pushing a weekly PB in terms of meters covered too? I had vaguely thought of using Monday as a springboard to having a go at my weekly PB total, but swiftly put that out of my mind

PS. you need to get your signature updated!!

Keep getting better on longer rows - I see the 16k in the future.

[KeithT]

Completed the 100k in 6:59.43 yesterday. It was my first, so it’s also a PB, and I was told to post it on this thread for the record

The first half felt harder than a 50k I did at the same pace a week ago, and the second half was even harder, as - on top of the fatigue building up - I had to speed up 5-10 watts to make sub 7 hours despite a couple of unplanned stops.

Holy smokes, I bow down for thee Amazing result!!

60' TT PB +310m

I had planned a HM but the 60' seemed more sensible... definitely the right choice for today. Many opportunities to HD as doubts bounced around my head but I kept it going and even managed a little sprint finish . Netflix Ozark for company.
