New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[winniewinser]

I played around with the damper settings lately, before I just put it up to 10, but reading more about it realized that a bigger number isn't always better.

At any rate I was able to beat my previous 2000m time by 15 seconds today, and got a 6:59. Obviously extremely happy about beating the 7 minutes.

Time - Meter
6:59.0 - 2000
1:44.4 - 500
1:45.7 - 1000
1:45.5 - 1500
1:43.5 - 2000

Sub 7 is a big milestone.....huge congrats!

Excellent! Sub 7 is one of the biggest milestones to hit and you did it with a large improvement and a strong finish, way to go.

A decent improvement but I know I can do better ....first 1:55.5 and if I was feeling fresh then push for 1:54.0. I wasn't feeling fresh but managed to sneak under 1:55

Well done mate. It's a mark of how far you've come that a 165m improvement isn't enough.

I've got my first jab on Friday.

Another PB -awesome! You show no signs of slowing down. Hope the shot doesn't impact you too much, I keep procrastinating on getting mine as I always seem sensitive to meds and such and really don't want to be feeling ill but I know I need to do it before too long.

Had my first jab over a month ago, no probs apart from slightly higher HR for about four days. Didn't bother my wife at all. 2nd jab 20th May.

Thanks fellas

I think with more distance work I can get this below 1:54....I'll discuss with JD as I know we have 1km planned and then probably on to 2k.

Fingers crossed the jab tomorrow doesn't hit me too hard. My brother felt like he'd been run over

Another PB?!? There really is no stopping you at the moment. This is very impressive indeed. 12th this season (although it might be a while until you catch Keith Darby - 17355m as a 45yo LWT is other-worldly).

Cheers Ian....the last 20mins was horrible.....the last split went up to 1:57 at one point

Well done Alex, big improvement, and on a better day there's even more to come!

Thx Martin.....I think was some longer training pieces I could work towards 16k but it feels a long way off right now.

lol.....yeah Keith is on another planet of fitness.....I'm looking forward to racing as a 50+ without the Darby effect

Training with JD since Jan 1st so still plenty of room for progress.

Well done Alex. Big increase!
I felt crappy after the AZ jab. Was OK that day but the next day and the day after felt ropey and like someone had punched me in the arm. If I had been rowing I would have prob given it a miss for 3 days post jab. Hope it went OK!
