I'm really up for a Rowpro today - but just don't fancy the 5k. Had a rest day yesterday and keep thinking I need to do a 95% 2k (for mental confidence as much as anything)- or a 30 minutes (as I still think I should be able to better my SB) - or a Pete Plan waterfall (as I told Daffy I'd do one if she did one), or an hour of power, or a.......... (see my dilemma - not a clue what to do :roll: )

No worries. You have lots of good choices for 2 of your prefered 4 list as there are 60', 30', and 60' sessions at 16:00/16:00/20:00 GMT that have 4/5/5 registrants respectively. There is also a 2k at 14:00 but it only has an eval user and they often don't show... If I were you I would take advantage of one of the RP sessions and do the waterfall some other time. I would do the 30' session myself except it clashes with the family schedule today.

I suspect you are yet another MBTI type P. :fswink: We need more data points on our list on the corresponding thread:

A new SB by quite a bit of 18:47.0 @ 1:52.7 R31 \:D/ Thanks for the assist Colin, I would have backed off for sure at the 1/2 way point had I not told you my target pace beforehand and knew you were watching :fsbgrin: :fsgrin: from about 2500m to 4500m I did not think I was going to be able to hold on, but was determined to make my body prove it. Was completely shattered at the end...so much so that I managed to get a nasty cramp during the cd row :~c, and had to back off all the way to 2:30 splits, and now a couple hours later I have the characteristic erg cough. BTW, my warmup was a 2x2k rest 10' with increasing intensity power 10's every 300m. :fswink: Nonathlon improved from 7368 to 7397m with the 5k now my strongest event at 858.

The splits for the 5k are below
0250m 1:53.0 R35
0500m 1:52.6 R34
0750m 1:53.2 R34
1000m 1:53.0 R33
1250m 1:52.6 R33
1500m 1:52.8 R31
1750m 1:52.6 R32
2000m 1:52.4 R31
2250m 1:52.6 R31
2500m 1:52.4 R31
2750m 1:52.4 R31
3000m 1:52.6 R30
3250m 1:53.0 R29
3500m 1:52.6 R30
3750m 1:52.4 R29
4000m 1:52.6 R31
4250m 1:52.8 R31
4500m 1:53.2 R30
4750m 1:53.0 R30
5000m 1:52.2 R31

Bill,

that looks like a perfectly paced session! Very even splits and not much left in the end, I think you just hit the perfect pacing! =D>
