What the actual...?!?

I did wonder if this would happen at some point. This is so much quicker than your 2k was until just recently. It didn't make any sense for your skiing to be so far behind your rowing - after all, your arms and legs are powered by the same engine.

Very nice. Looks about perfectly paced, with a slight slow down through the 3.5-4.5k killing fields before a big push at the end.

Don't think I could get close to this ATM, but battle is joined for the TdS.

Rude improvement, and I do believe that the gauntlet has been thrown in Max's general direction... no pressure Max..

Superb Tony, good goingmore to come!

WOW! You appear to be showing that Skierg who's boss pretty quickly.

Wow, that's a massive improvement.

Sweet 30'

Another move in the right direction. Only added 9m to my previous best 60' session, but pushing through the usual late wobble and getting to the finish line boosts confidence.

Any PB is worth celebrating, so well done, and fighting through the wobble is an essential part of getting faster. Mindset is similar to muscle and has to be fed, and focused on.

I think your stroke rate is still low enough to highlight a good source of improvement as you move forward. As you can increase the SPM, your pace will also increase.

first try at 60min open rate

1:00:00.0 3,183m 1:53.1 242 1132 25 144

I think I might be able to get that 16k. I had a sweaty hand handle drop at 51min, and held back on that first 30min. Maaaayyyybee 16k in a few months....
