2k PB today! Yay!!
I entered the Dorset Indoor Rowing Championships this weekend. Yesterday was a 15min time trial from which everyone was placed in groups. I did 4,206 metres that got me in Group A.
Today you have to post a 2k time, verified as having been rowed today. I managed:
Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M
6:40.3 2,000m 1:40.0 349 1501 30 177
1:39.8 500m 1:39.8 352 1511 31 162
1:40.9 1,000m 1:40.9 341 1472 31 169
1:40.8 1,500m 1:40.8 342 1476 30 172
1:38.8 2,000m 1:38.8 363 1548 31 207

Your recent training has been excellent, so a cracking 2k was bound to follow. Very well done.

Very well done Tony - that's a great time. You have been putting in some great performances recently and this is well deserved.
The last HR reading of 207 looks a bit high though!?

Yesterday, racing PBs :

500m - 1:36.3
1000m - 3:32.3

Today

30 minutes - 7312m (2:03.0)

Well done on the 30mins too
Time to get that 5k down to 20 mins and then push on for 30 mins at 2:00 pace as well

Thanks guys - like some others I can’t that multiple quote thing on here. Support and advice through here helped a lot.
It was Henry who said sometime ago that I looked like a 6:40 so that gave me the belief that it was achievable. It was then the small matter of 16 weeks of training six times a week.
Need another target now.

Congrats Big fail from my side though, I should have seen you are only a 40.3 guy

Hello ergo-people, I've not posted for a while but have been lurking a bit. The site logged me out and it took a while to get round to sorting a new login and as many will know I've only been playing at the rower last year or so to keep a bit of cardio when my focus has been on weights moreso.

Anway, I thought a couple of PBs done last Tuesday would be a good opportunity (at the risk of sounding like Rod ) to post. I do hope to contribute a bit more in the coming months.

1. New 100m PB of 15.7s (-0.2s) at DF=170. Need to clean the machine as this is max drag. LP=1:15. First Pull = 1:53.


2. Finally hit a "3 plate" deadlift (180kg) albeit with the hexbar. As you can see I'm using the high handles but this still counts as I'm standing on blocks so the effective midpoint of the bar is still the same as it would be for an Olympic barbell with 20kg standard diameter plates. This was at a body weight of 82kg.

Wow great work all around! Glad to see you posting again.

SRIC LM40 and a small PB by 0.5s. First ever race of any kind, I was extremely nervous and spent the morning on porcelain . I had tested all connections before but sods law a Windows update led to some unnecessary stress ....had to go to my work laptop. It's fair to say I blew my lot early and paced this very badly. Somehow I managed to find something in the last 500m to squeek a tiny PB . Glad I did this before BRIC just for the experience.

I think I tookbut waiting for confirmation.

6:53.0 - 1:43.2@33

1:41.6@33
1:45.1@31
1:45.1@32
1:41.2@36

A PB at first race is great, now you will be ready for next attempt.

Nice job especially after doing the 15' TT.

Hi everyone- Finally completed my first HM today, so by definition a new PB! My announced goal has always been to do a HM under 90 min, but my secret goal was to do it with a sub 2:00 pace.... and I was successful at that, so I’m pretty happy with the result. I targeted 203w the whole time and was pretty consistent. It really helped that I got some pads for the seat a couple weeks ago after some helpful comments from the forum, so thank you all!

Well done CP, that's a cracking PB. There's a world of difference between <90mins and <2:00 split - a very enviable result.

Very good first HM. What was the longest distance you have done before now?
