Congrats on your first HM! They do get easier though, I set PB's each of the 3 times I've done a HM.

Thx both of you !
have smoked something :shock: ...I have heard that more often lately :mrgreen: ...while being aware of the whole chain of cause and effect. Fire and Ice is a Route on Zwift. But it was only indoor rowing. Not cycling. So to confine it to rowing...the last German words in a different order and with wind instead of ice make a name for an eight. Not that anyone would ever think I would complete the Tour of Fire and Ice in sub 48min in graceful aesthetics on a virtual bike, no, please don't, if it's not on Strava...then it never happened. Friendly provocation !

Impressive 30’ Claudius!
I am still happy that I managed to break the 15k barrier but 16k is insane :-)

Thx Tako, 16175m was my last Result. With the given prescription this effort hadn´t a specific distance goal...so i wasnt focused on my projected distance, just fullfilling this spontaneous plan. It was really extreme exhausting...or with what english vocabulary you would describe a horrible TT like a pain in the as...a highway to hell... :twisted:

i forget to add the splits:

I have found that this attempt gives me the most nonathlon points, compared to the 2k with the fewest (no wonder, I have to admit that I hate the 2k). This nonathlon is really an interesting tool.

Still wondering what fuel your engine is running on, or maybe I should ask in German: “was hast Du geraucht??”

Fantastic work Claudius - on both your recent 60' PB and this weekend's 2k =D> =D>
I'm pretty sure that it won't be long before that 2k drops lower again :wink:

Follow the rabbit of explosiveness, but what if the white wise rabbit wants to strive down any explosiveness ? to let go. No more pb then ? Maybe things are changing.

Thanks for the reminder, Claudius. I've owned my C2 since Nov 2011 and this is the first time I've gone sub 2:00 pace for 30 Minutes. Funnily enough, this one started out as a 10K effort.

In honor of Concept 2's International Women's Day challenge, I decided to attempt a PB for the 5K row.

Result: 17 second improvement for 19:39.7!

Thanks, guys! It's interesting what can happen when you actually put the meters in. This season is by far the most meters I've ever accumulated at 541,425 so far; 450K of which are since Jan 1 of this year... :)

My previous best season was the '16/'17 season with 449K and an average over the previous 7 seasons of just 292K.

I guess you could say I've finally caught the bug - at least for now. :)

Virtual erg sprints 1000m, pretty happy with that. Just kept looking at the splits - anything better than 151.6 was going to be good. Previous best was 3.43.2
1:50.6
1:51.8
1:51.8
1:50.4

3:42.3

I was trying to make last season a season full of PB's. I got them all apart from the 1 minute where I was not able to get a final crack at it due to Covid. The problem now is trying to do it again this season coming, the benchmarks have moved a bit!

100m - 0:18.9 - 1:34.5 - 28/01/22
500m - 1:41.8 - 1:41.8 - 11/09/21
1,000m - 3:32.9 - 1:46.4 - 09/10/21
2,000m - 7:18.1 - 1:49.5 - 11/09/21
5,000m - 19:00.8 - 1:54.0 - 19/12/21
6,000m - 22:57.4 - 1:54.7 - 26/09/21
10,000m- 39:00.8 - 1:57.0 - 30/03/22
21,097m - 1:28:39.6 - 2:06.0 - 20/06/21
42,195m - 3:17:26.9 - 2:20.3 - 22/08/21

1:00.0 - 312m - 1:36.1 - 12/01/19
4:00.0 - 1,088m - 1:50.2 - 19/09/21
30:00.0 - 7,811m - 1:55.2 - 24/10/21
1:00:00.0 - 14,887m - 2:00.9 -25/07/21

Trying to make this season the season of the PB!
