Here are my splits from Rowpro

Split____Time__Meters____Pace__DPS__Watts__SPM
1_____0:38.0_____200__1:35.0___8.3__408.2___38
2_____0:38.0_____200__1:35.0___8.3__408.2___38
3_____0:38.3_____200__1:35.8___7.6__398.7___41
4_____0:38.9_____200__1:37.2___7.7__380.5___40
5_____0:38.9_____200__1:37.2___7.2__380.5___43

Totals_3:11.9____1,000__1:36.0___7.8__396.2___40

I wanted to even pace 1:37.5, but went out a bit faster than planned. Ultimately I'd like to pace it slightly negatively, but I'm still getting the hang of these 1k's, though I'm sure at the end of this series we should all know a lot more about pacing

Hope to see y'all online soon

Good day Gentlemen,

I have Marc's time of 3:11.9 (Excellent).

I am going to do my 1k tomorrow so, if you would like to wait until tomorrow that is fine for this weekend. I suppose the window frame is now Thursday to Monday. I may not be able to get to a computer, today, to check on results. So, please post what you do on here. I found Marc's and was glad to see it posted on the results page, if you did it on beta.

Later, Thomas

Good row Dan, looks very controlled, and I do like that 10 m/stroke.

Thanks. Next week is when it gets interesting for me (sub PB territory).

Week 3's results:

Marc 3:11.9
Thomas 3:13.8
Dan 3:14.0
Michaelb No time yet

Week 3 adjusted (3:15 best possible):
Dan 3:15
Thomas 3:15
Marc 3:15
Michaelb No time yet

Michael,
I looked for your time on rowpro and on the forum but could not find it, but you may have not done it, yet. Just let me know or post it here so I can add it.

Total after week 3:
Dan 10:00.0
Thomas 10:00.0
Marc 10:00.0
Michaelb 6:57.0

Also, Chad, if you can add the times you want to include, just post them here and I will adjust them.

I think we are doing good. This 1k race concept is deliberately making me train. I thought about it all day that when I got home I had to do a 1k when in the past I had no real obligation to do so. Tonight's was not easy and I had to strategize more with the drag factor and with my grip, which is now with my thumbs running parallel with the oar handle as opposed to wraping the thumb around the oar handle. I think the grip is helping me keep my arms straight on the drive and making me use my upper back more so than my biceps. In essence, to my fellow competitors, thank you.

Later,
Thomas

I have got to get back into rowing, took the weekend off, so no 1k. I may try to make it up this next weekend.

But nice rowing guys.

Hi Thomas,
I have been using that same grip lately, with the same results.. I like it.

As far as the 1k's

I'm not going to make it.. did two 1k's last thursday, but they werent quick enough to get included (they needed to be sub 3:25 and sub 3:20, right?)

good luck to you guys!

snowitall · Post by **snowitall** » March 25th, 2008, 8:27 am

Chad,

3:20 and 3:25 were just the fastest times you could get credit for, put your times in. It just means you'll have to work a little harder next week

Marc

Thomas · Post by **Thomas** » March 25th, 2008, 2:02 pm

Yes, Chad,

Snowitall is correct. Those times are not cut-offs but are the best time you may receive for the weekend.

Just post your times here, and I will add you to the list.

Later,
Thomas

Michael,
That's allowed. You are allowed to make it up next weekend.

Like I commented above in another post, this 1k series is getting me to the erg. I find I have interest in rowing when it is competitive. I don't think I would do it just for fitness, which is actually what is happening.

Ok, here are my three 1k times:
3/20/08: 1:42.6 (3:25.2)
3/20/08: 1:43.2 (3:26.5)
2/28/08: 1:45.1 (3:30.2)

I think I might be able to get under 3:20 with a single all out effort.. I will give it a try this weekend

cheers

Thanks for competing.

The previous weeks' best were 3:25, 3:20, 3:15 so, you are awarded your actual time. Your total is 10:21.9.

Total after week 3:

Dan 10:00.0
Thomas 10:00.0
Marc 10:00.0
Chad 10:21.9.
Michaelb 6:57.0 (pending a week 3 row)

Week 4 time is 3:10. Good luck!

The last time I rowed sub 3:10 was on July 8, 2007. This is going to hurt.

michaelb · Post by **michaelb** » March 27th, 2008, 12:20 pm

I did my make up row this morning: 3:24.4. Results avail online too.

I tried to go under 1:40 for the first 500m and then back off. It was still hard. Chad: are you serious about going for sub 3:20 this weekend? Let's schedule that I suppose. I think you are a lock; I am having second thoughts.

I posted a discussion of 1k race pacing on the UK forum, since we might get more discussion over there, if anyone is interested:
