Did my first career timed 2k this morning... 7:44.2. The only thing I'm bummed about is I didn't correctly set the date on my machine so it is logged as February 9th, whoops! Looking forward to seeing what I can do in the next few months. Got a concept 2 rower with my fitness reimbursement on a nice discount (saved $300) and plan to use it to cross train for jiu jitsu.
Well done, and I'll be interested to see what you can do in a few months

First PB for a while. Was feeling ‘comfortable’ at 1:45 pace for 2-3K pieces so thought I’d have a crack at a sub 17:30 5k. And it worked - 9 secs off previous PB.

Well done Max, +11m is huge and pacing looks about right, around 40'' in is also the point for me where it gets nasty and painful, and when looking at the effort in the logbook I'm always a bit surprised that the watts weren't close to zero for the last strokes :)

Congrats! Keep up the great progress

Looking at your other PB's you look more than capable if sub 18'. It's a big milestone (I've only done it once myself and still don't know how I did it :lol: )

Well done Rob. With that last 1k, I think you just need to be a bit more confident in the middle bit, and you'll be sub 18 really soon. Nevertheless, this is a great improvement.

Thanks all! I may attempt another fast row tmw. Of my other PBs I think my 10k is softer than my 30 min- does that look right to you?

Based on your 5K and 2K times there is a little more in the 10K to come.

I find this quite accurate.....
