At last...13222 for 60'.....it looks a long way behind some of you guys but every time i crack a new PB i get a real buzz.....bloody tedious though!!

It IS worth it Paul-the young lads I know who do regular 2k trials all have buckets ready by their ergs apparently !I dont know if the coach empties them or themselves :lol: :? Been there a couple of times, worst was after a 2000 test, I could only make it to a 2nd story window, and left a trail do...

getting to like this 10k...put in another go today with another reduction in time.....need to crack the 44' barrier.........

Mixed fortunes...tried a 2k to go sub 8' from 8.04...blew out going off to fast and nearly vomited...only managed 8.02 in the end...still a PB...but nowhere near you big hitters yet. Later in the session i did a 10 k again and realised that i could PB that too and reduced it from 44'.26 to 44'. 17.....

Great great times...well done guys and gals.....it gives me inspiration and targets...although i doubt a sub 40' for me this year. Thats my target...first 10k i hated but my third felt more in control.....I love the idea of a rowpro row...you could all get a cuppa while i finished.....
Chris

Well done Paul...pretty awesome session....not sure about the red sweets...but the beer and curry sounds a real reward for your effort.
Chris

Good recovery from the 31st Aug Stan......stick at it.... I am on rest day from rowing....got the munches..not sure how many more carrots i can handle!!

Ok Jessica Red...we are in the same boat with two other guys what happens now??? How do we get into the points have I got to row faster??..... I think I know the answer to that.
