Great to have two more boats floated, thanks indeed to Jane and Jill.
Really awesome to see you posting again Jane! Back in business for sure! The monitors are all too ready to round us down, and we take that, but if your PM3 monitor tells you a score, I think it’s appropriate to record it! (Perhaps each set recorded .x meters, which totalled enough to round it up by 2m?)! I’m sure someone will come along and advise exactly how these calculations are made.
Peter, very good to have improved by another 18m on a very consistent effort (one of those where it looks progressive and well controlled)! Are we going to see a response from Alan? Looks like you two have been duking it out!
Thanks for the encouragement. Of course, I had committed myself to a much more strenuous effort from my previous comments. I aimed to increase the rating from the off (a variance from mostly my present low-ish rate training) and with a target pace was 1:44.0 – 1:44.5. As usual, I set off ahead of target.
1170 1:42.5 30 170
1170 1:42.5 30 174
1166 1:42.9 31 177
1170 1:42.5 32 179
dizzy afterwards
I think actually it was paced just right… it was absolutely on the ragged edge for me presently as the heart rate indicates! I’m pretty sure I couldn’t extract more without a good chunk more training so I won’t be trying again. I didn’t sprint any in the third rep. Fourth rep pace was around 1:43.5 until the final minute, but managed a pretty painful sustained effort at a dizziness inducing heart rate. Moved our boat up two places … for now! As predicted, not a score which was going to trouble Erik’s superb effort.
