New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[mjk]

Congratulations, strong PB and good execution with negative splits what was your college PB?

My college PB was 32:49 in fall 2011

Not too shabby. Nice negative split too. Intrigued to know what your college training was like - ten sessions a week, "body is a temple" sort of rower, or training as and when studies and socialising allowed?

It was 10 sessions a week "in-season" (start of fall semester to thanksgiving, and spring break to IRAs), mid-winter was 5-7 sessions. Summer was a little more casual and was more rowing in pairs and fours, but a lot of individual time on the erg too. The summer before my 10k PB I was rowing ~100k per week on the erg.

Great work! I can't help notice that quite a few of our times are very similar, so perhaps I can use you as extra motivation!

Great to take such a big chunk off the 2k there.

Back with a bang Rob. That's an excellent result

Thanks so much lads!

Man it’s so humbling looking at this forum, so many great efforts!

That said, I did crank out a new 6k PR today, so this is the place to post it! Improved upon my old best, which was less than a month ago, by about 4 seconds. I was able to hit my target pacing of 235 watts (which was basically my old PR pace) really consistently, and then turned it up over the last 10%.

22:46.1 6,000m 1:53.8 237 1116 25

Not sure how much longer we’ll have this nice weather, so feels like my season is coming to an end soon, just trying to rack as many PRs as possible...
