Way slower compared to the rower, but I get into it more and more

Unexpected 2k skierg PB today!

After my typical 15min skierg warmup for gym session, my gym buddy saying: let's go for a 2k race now, you on skierg and me on the rower! So we did!
To be honest, I felt not good during warmup and wasn't convinced to perform well, but thought about 1:46 splits to get a par with my 7:06 PB.
First split was a bit faster, so I backed off a bit, as I thought I could hit a wall otherwise. To my surprise - no walls in sight and even no fatigue. Full control all the time, so I increased pace in the last split and could do a good sprint with 1:38 pace at the end.
Very satisfied with the result

Very good result Sascha

Fantastic result!

That's an awesome result, well done indeed.

Thx, gents

After my last attempt, when I bailed at 900m and a pace of ca. 1:45, I was a bit cautious for the first km. All doubts left my body, when I hit the 3rd split and felt really good. I think there is some more to get with a better pacing and a "good day"

[DghSpanishWelsh]

Excellent!

Another 5K skierg PB: 21:57.6.

Only 0.1 second improvement this time, but progress is progress, and tbh felt knackered at the start of the session.

Thx Keith, curious about the 1k skierg sprint this week

[DghSpanishWelsh]

Another skierg 5K PB today 21:42.4. Averaged 42s/m.

Now ranked 32nd for my age group - but got under the average time in the rankings for the first time.

Gotta take the little wins when you can

Bodes well for BRICin a month.

Probably I need to start bragging about my skierg PBs as well, they start to get a bit more serious

After a 15min skierg warmup for the gym session I gave the 1k skierg world sprints - aka CTC - a go.
My PB was 3:17 flat, so I targeted 1:38 average. To get there I knew I must start stronger to be able to fade a little bit.

Code: Select all

Time	Meters	Pace	Watts	Cal/Hr	S/M
3:15.8	1,000m	1:37.9	373	1583	55
0:38.7	200m	1:36.7	386	1630	57
0:38.7	400m	1:36.7	386	1630	57
0:39.4	600m	1:38.5	366	1560	56
0:39.7	800m	1:39.2	358	1532	54
0:39.2	1,000m	1:38.0	372	1579	54

It got a little bumpy road in the 3rd and 4th split, but I could go for a more or less good sprint on the last 100 getting the pace down to 1:35.
Worked out well and I'm really satisfied with the result

Couple of very strong 1k PBs there - very well done chaps. I suspect they wont be the last this month as we all focus on the 1k - but they will remain among the strongest!
