[winniewinser]

Impromptu 500m TT on the Skierg....managed a little jump of 9.2s . Bit more like it

1:45.0 500m 1:45.0 52
0:26.0 125m 1:44.0 51
0:26.3 250m 1:45.2 50
0:26.2 375m 1:44.8 53
0:26.5 500m 1:46.0 54

9.2s! Very good work. That's a decent start too. Do you do some half strokes to really get going?

Cheers.....yep *** DELETE - SPAM *** sink thrown in during the first 125m

You know what I think. Very good work Al

Thx bud

I remember having the same thought one Sunday morning over 15 years ago. That PB has lasted the test of time

Well done for starting and finishing the marathon.

Amazing piece of work Tony.

Occasionally I think that a night time row would be a good thing to do but always dismiss the idea. Tiredness and poor hydration just make it very much harder, so doing an FM in that state is especially good.

Cracking time too.

who does this? I wake up in the night and wonder if i can make the bathroom and back trip.

Seriously though, great result on that FM.

Yeah, that's a normal thing to think when waking up at night
Congratulations, not only on completing it, but on a great time and PB as well!

Wow savage effort, well done Tony

[max_ratcliffe]

Too hot for rowing today and didn't fancy doing a long piece at 9pm on the gym (trying to avoid peak hours for obvious reasons).

So:

10' stationary bike
10' skierg warm up

2x30" r2 sprints (the full 30" seems too long so it's really more like 2x15").

Then 500m skierg TT

1:40.7 500m 1:40.7 343 1479 57
0:20.0 100m 1:40.0 350 1504 60
0:19.6 200m 1:38.0 372 1579 55
0:19.9 300m 1:39.5 355 1522 57
0:20.2 400m 1:41.0 340 1469 59
0:20.9 500m 1:44.5 307 1355 57

PB by 1.5 s

I do think that the high rep cable stiff arm pushdowns that I've been doing helped me keep the power going through 300m and just about hold on. The final 200m were pretty tough and I was sounding like the Toy Story penguin by the end.

It was probably 15 minutes afterwards before the sour taste in my mouth went away and I could be confident that I wouldn't see my dinner again.

Thanks Gents, sneaking my nose in front on the 500, but Alex will smash me in the 5k and 10k.

Bit of friendly rivalry .....I'm not going to get close that 500m and my 2k is still lacking also. Not done a 10k yet so that will be interesting.

Life begins at 50 right?! .....the big 5 0 in Feb too
