Well done Peter, that is a fine performance .Grobi wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 7:50 pm Had a last minute effort tonight with the aim of doing the first three reps at last time‘s average (1:45.7) and then a fast last (if possible). Well, that was the plan and this is how it went:
1:45.6 / 31 / 171
1:45.8 / 31 / 179
1:45.7 / 31 / 182
1:44.2 / 33 / 185
Total: 10:32.1 / 1:45.3 (was 10:34.7)
That was tough! The first rep felt so hard that I considered handling down in the rest period. But then I told myself to at least try the second rep, hopefully the rolling start would make it easier? It did indeed and after the second rep I was half way through. Come on, one more rep and then it‘s already the last one! Rep #3 was of course tough as well but it helped tremendously knowing that I was ahead of my old score at this stage. Problem with the final rep was that I had to row a 1:43.4 pace to keep that gain, anything slower would reduce it. I tried, but I couldn‘t hold a pace near that, ended up with giving away 1.2 seconds in the last bit. Nevertheless I managed an overall improvement by 2.6 seconds and that was all I could do today. Legs still feeling jelly as I‘m writing this but happy nonetheless
I decided not to risk my back with another attempt at this one - at the moment it is a bit sprinty for me but well done to everyone who had a go - there were some great performances this month.

Couldn't improve either, but some fantastic times across the board

Hi Claudius, Amanda is an on the water rower too, and I think being summer now in Australia her erg time reduces whilst she concentrates OTW.
