New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

First 2k TT today: 6:58.2

Great work and sub 7'....congrats

How did it feel? What where your splits?

First 2k TT today: 6:58.2

Nice one, well done.

Thanks

@winniewinser: splits can be seen in my log linked below - or go directly to the 2k log
It felt quite good, I am almost sure that this was not the absolute max. I could control the pace though the complete run, but in the end it was hard, so not 20% left
But I think I can beat this again.

Massive milestone achieved. Many people won't ever achieve it, or spend years trying, so big congratulations for getting it so early on in your rowing life.

Ideally you want to increase your stroke rate as there's some 'free pace' there, but the pacing is really good and that finish shows you probably just need a bit more confidence to get another couple of seconds off.

Congrats on the 2k PB. My 2k is exactly the same 6:58.2 but at 33spm.

I expect you will get to 6:40 pretty shortly, your progress so far has been immense.

Thx.....I think we're used to see the details in the thread ....but the links work if your log is open to all.

e.g.
6:58.2 2,000m 1:44.5 306 1354 27 172
1:45.4 500m 1:45.4 299 1328 29 167
1:44.7 1,000m 1:44.7 305 1349 28 172
1:45.1 1,500m 1:45.1 301 1337 27 174
1:43.1 2,000m 1:43.1 319 1399 27 176

You have a new line in the sand to burn through now.

Excellent! Many will agree that the sub 7:00 2K might be the best milestone there is. You have obtained it quickly and I figured you had it in you already. Very encouraging to see the last 500 faster too - with overall solid pacing.

What a great response - thank you all

This shows the great foundation built through my training all the years before. It tranfers well to other sports, obviously pretty good to rowing

As I am more the slow but stronger guy, who can handle heavy loads for a long time, the lower ratings are feeling better for me currently. Increased ratings are not helpful yet as my technique in the catch is not perfect and to slow if I am rating up. Control gets lost also a bit. I have to go for sessions with higher ratings to train this.
28spm felt really good and I could control the pace the whole "race".

@winniewinser: how do you copy the text? If I copy it from my log all parts are pasted without blanks, so it cannot be read properly (I am using a smartphone).

It's a pain on a smartphone but if you click and hold on a bit of the text then expand the selection you should be able to copy.

The link works too so don't stress it.....just what the residents get used to seeing

SKierg 1'TT.....I thought I'd see what gains I had made and did this after the 8x750m session. So probably a but more in there. Died over the line a bit.

01:00.0 304m 01:38.6 62
00:15.0 76m 01:38.6 60
00:30.0 78m 01:36.1 64
00:45.0 78m 01:36.1 64
01:00.0 74m 01:41.3 60

Onwards to the 500m for TDS

I know how to copy data on a smartphone, but it copies the text without blanks, so it cannot be read. Its like this when I copy&paste:

Higher rating was more controlled today, but not as good as it could be. But satisfied anyway
PB as done first time.

Another good line in the sand

Another good line in the sand

Thx!

My lines come closer to yours
Our lines seem to cross around 15-20k. HM faster, 10k slower.

You've only just started and will surely surpass my old man PB's ......I'm 50 this month

I'm really working mainly on the Skierg at the moment but will likely come back to the rower to try some 50's racing.
