New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[winniewinser]

I know you shouldn't really do a 2k TT only 3 days after the last one but after 5k and 4k PBs the last 2 days I thought I'd do it anyway.
New 2k PB 8:10 previous best 8:15

International Women's Day was forcing me to plan a 5k PB for today and so I did.

This is for all women out there

I started with 1:45, but after the first k I knew this will not work for 5k. So I tried to hang on for 1:46, had to drop off a bit for the 4th km to be able to finish strong and get 1:46 average.
As it is not a bad neither a good day, I am satisfied with the result. Chopping >16s from the old PB

Was looking for this one.....great row!! This is about where I thought you would be and I expect you to challenge 1:45 (17:30) before too long. The 5K can be very brutal and a tough one to gauge. I planned on a harder 5K yesterday but my back was tight from a weight session for I just did a couple mid-effort 5Ks and thinking about CTC Saturday. Again, great work!

Thx Keith!
Wanted to attack 1:45, but I was not recovered enough. I think I already have it in me or really near to 17:30!
Circumstances not perfect - like for all my current PBs
This was also meant to be a sighter for the CTC. If I can hold a 1:46 for a 5k straight, I think I can go lower for the CTC, probably ~1:44.5. This is how I will attack it, hopefully also this weekend.

If you don't do 10,000 150kg squats as a warm up, you'll be fine for a sub 1:45 CTC

Ok, I will consider this

Looks like 144.5 is what it will take to get you in the first boat. Lay off the squats

I think that will be my goal (sub 1:45)

Yes, 1:44.6 wouldn't be enough, so I have definitely to leave squats out for the day

[Sakly]

I think that will be my goal (sub 1:45)

Good luck with it!

I managed to row under 3hrs for my marathon. My target pace was 2:06. I slowed down in the second half. Still, it was enough. Tired.

Very nice!
And not much slowdown, so very even paced

Very nice Gustel!

How was it at that high SR for the 3 hours?
