just smashed my previous open rate pb - was 47:17; there was a little more in the tank today too - I'd have loved to have sneaked under 44:30, but seeing as target was sub 45 I'm still chuffed!
Now to settle in and watch the rugby :mrgreen:

To my surprise managed a 30 min PB today after only a few rows back following some health issues and 11 days off the erg. Felt good today and could have gone over 7200 if I'd totally emptied the tank.Gives me some confidence I can do some more damage during the coming winter season.

Figured after a s****y day at work I'd just have a go at 2k, given I managed 1600m fairly easily on monday.

Great effort p_b82. You've been threatening this for a while. Sub 8mins at 19-20 is tough. Well done. More PBs before long based on this performance.
