New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[KeithT]

Marathon row from yesterday for World Diabetes Day. Last year I finished in 2:57:50, this year 2:53:29. The last hour felt like I was staring death in its face for the whole 14km, but managed to keep it going somehow.

Well done - that is a big improvement!

I have much more impressive PBs than my FM but to this day one of my most cherished rows is my first FM (only have done 2). I had a certain goal in mind and the mental battle I fought was crazy - knowing you had that battle and pushed thru is a major accomplishment.

The FM can be the epitome of the result not being as important as the journey.

2K completed to set up paces for next 3 week training loop.

Took off and saw 1.52/500 on the screen at 1 point. Though it felt easy I remembered last times fly and die so dialled back the pace intending to sit at 1.59. With long steady strokes that proved difficult (after 500 I was really heaving my breath) but I managed to hold the pace at around 2.00/500. A bit after halfway (even though I felt I was going to blow up) I realised it wasn't gonna cut the mustard to break 8 min so I tried to up the pressure a bit and at 500 to go I attempted a sprint finish.

I'm pleased to have broken 8 minutes after being so close last time. However I'm a touch disappointed not to have seen anything like as big a gain as from my first 3 week training loop given I thought I would have broken 8 minutes on my last 2K with correct pacing.

Very happy with the PB, which is arguably my strongest across both the ergs that I use, but obviously there's a voice inside my head saying that I could go faster. Two days left to have another go, but I can't quite see that happening.

Great PB! Of course you think you can go faster - we are programmed to think that it seems not matter how well we do. The Ski-erg is still pretty unfamiliar to me as I just don't use it often but I know this is impressive.

Thanks Keith.

Over this distance, the skierg rewards strength and power. I would expect you to do very well, if not quite to the level of your rowing 1k.

Glad to see that you're getting back to fitness post-covid.

Surprised myself with this 6m PB for the CTC 1'....didn't think I could get much more than a metre or two over 340m.

You should be chuffed too. This is probably your best PB, and there's no fade. Really impressive to keep powering through the last 15 seconds

Very impressive indeed, and an enormous chunk of your previous PB.
