Re: October CTC: 3x2k+2´r

Great effort on the 2K. It feels like there must be another PB in there just waiting. The RowPro failure is a bummer. It doesn’t feel completely stable to me since they did the huge upgrade. I use ErgData for anything I care about. Probably could go faster, I just really, really dislike the pain as...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

Accidentally set a new 2K PB today of 7:33.4, a betterment of 3.7 seconds over my 2016/17 season time. See the October CTC thread for the story... :D

Re: October CTC: 3x2k+2´r

I took a stab at this today. I mentally figured that just a week or so ago I set a new 1-Hour PB of just under 2:02, so 1:55 shouldn't be too hard for a measly 2K series of 3 rows with rest between. I didn't do the math to realize that 1:55 was a 7:40 2K pace. My 2K PB sat at 7:37.1 set way back in ...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

You're on a roll Ron. Enjoy them whilst you are in such a rich vein of form. Great to see. Thanks, Dave (& Mat). It's somewhat cool to pull PB's as an "older gentleman", but I also realize 1) It's only because I didn't dedicate a lot of time to it when I was younger, and 2) The gains ...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

Grabbed a couple more today. Improved my 30 Minute PB by 72M to 7616. In the process, also PB'ed my previous 6K by almost 18 Seconds. I don't know what's going on this year! :)

I can hear Bruce Hornsby singing "That's Just the Way It Is" over & over in my head, but I think the actual title is the shortened version:

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

Well don Ron. This “just turn up and get a PB” approach is working well for you, and probably says a lot about the great condition you must be in at the moment. Thanks, Jon. Between the rowing and the mountain biking, I beat myself up a lot these days, but I'm loving it and am probably in the best ...

Well, after PB'ing my Hour of Power yesterday, I decided a little 43.5 mile ride in the woods was just the ticket today. I might just be nuts.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

Well, I went and did it again. No plan for a PB - in fact, just a simple goal of rowing for an hour for the team challenge - but sat down to do said hour, and it just felt good starting off, so I kinda sorta negative split it to a new PB of 14795 vs previous 14622. I hate to put this in writing, but...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

I was in a hurry this morning, so I sat down for an attempt at my 5K PB. I rarely know exactly what my PB's are when I start these things, and I was thinking I needed to hit 19:40. As it turns out, my standing PB was 19:39.7. Luckily, I was a little faster than that and finished with a 19:35.4, just...
