Slowly creeping on my goal of 6:30 2k for BRIC.

Working in London this week so conditions weren’t perfect but still very pleased with 6:38

Great work Anthony, you did well to hold on the last 1k after opening up with a 1:37!

Ooo, this is solid progress, and a great result! A bit too solid for my liking as I need to pull my finger out

Nice! That's some good power, especially in the LWT and 65-69 group. I see the 1:33 going down!

Thanks Keith, I'll give it my best shot

That's a big chunk off a 2k...great result

Summer 2021 was when i got the C2 and so Rowlympics was the first Challenge I remember.

Was fun to row against myself and beat all the times/distances, including PBs for 2k / 6k / 10k.

We'll see how the training is going in 4 years as I may well want to conveniently forget these stats comparisons by then!

Cool. Very Nice.

Yeah, that was silly of me! Lesson learnt there. Slow down!

Plan was to sub 1:40 each 500 for the whole piece but that first 500 was way too quick! Trying to figure out what my best strategy is. I have a feeling it’ll be starting slower then building the pace towards the end. I just never have the discipline to actually do that!!!

Great result!
Probably I need to get going again on the 2k

I have a feeling it’ll be starting slower then building the pace towards the end. I just never have the discipline to actually do that!!!

Be warned, in my first rowing competition I started off at 1:34(!!) until circa 750m in when the inevitable happened and the adrenaline rush wore off and left me struggling for about 500m and then in a world of regret and pain for the last 750m.

Try your best to get that starting piece under control in your practice, as it's all too easy to forget it on the big day

Great row! I love the sub 6:30 goal. I remember when I chased it and it was a very satisfying one to hit and when I first did it was at a comp. Prob will drop a couple seconds with pacing better. I have same issue of always going too fast early but as long as not drastically different it will be OK.

Thanks Keith. It really is a fantastic goal to chase. Solely because there is no way of achieving it without sheer hard work and dedication.

After the PB and British Record in the One Minute last week I had to give the 500 a good go this week so blasted away and despite just about grinding to halt on the last stroke managed a new PB and British Record in the 65-69 Lwt Category with a 0.7 improvement over the time I did back in January ending up on 1:32.5 plus went to the top of the World Rankings. DF was 135. Stroke Rate was 46 spm.

Nice one Rod, a brilliant time m8. I know what the grinding to a halt feels like lol

Smashed my all time pb from 22.5 years ago, March 2002, I was 32 when I set this. Just short of Sub 1.30 but am happy with the overall result, last 100m was the worst I have ever felt on a rower it was like I had been on a 12hr binge. I forgot what it was like.

1.30.4 500m 1.30.4 474 41 150df
17.3 100m 1.26.5 541 45
17.2 200m 1.26.0 550 45
17.6 300m 1.28.0 514 41
18.5 400m 1.32.5 442 39
19.8 500m 1.39.0 361 39

I reckon if I sort out the pacing I can get an extra second and half max. This turned into a fly and die, all tactics left the room.

Based on some calculations Pointed out by iain i have grabbed a pb for 1 min as well of 345m. 350m is defo on flat out now.
