Anyone had any PBs recently?

[Draggon]

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...

Congratulations Ron

[Draggon]

This time was no accident - After several weeks of building up to it along with a handful of failed attempts, I finally managed to achieve a PB in the elusive 10K today. Finished nearly 8 seconds faster than my previous best with a 39:49.5.

With this row, this is officially my "Season of PB's" as I've managed to PB every row this season that I track. I plan to also PB the 1 Min row for the IRL this month, but I hate it so much that I don't consider it a real row...

This doesn't mean I won't try again next season (or try to improve yet this season), but I've got to think this has been a banner rowing year for me!

Great, Ron, quite a season this way.

An amazing season Ron

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the support and the ongoing inspiration you all (and all the Free Spirits) provide year in and year out. The FS's have done some amazing things over the years.

A nice start to a Monday:

Great pacing Ian - and assuming it's a PB (it's on the PB thread) - as you say, it's a cracking start to a Monday

Thanks Dave - 15s whittled off my previous PB.

nice one Ian, great form

[duffyoz]

What a great way to start a week. Great result Ian.

[Claudius]

Congrats to the new pb Ian ! Great HM !

[Ian Bee]

Thanks all - I've some crazy ideas to get closer to 1:20 but only when I've had too much coffee.

[Ian Bee]

Now: what's my 2k target for this coming season

If that’s 2k+5 that must put your 2k pace around 1:53.x so I guess that with a fair wind and a strong finish 7:12??

I'm clearly far too easily led. Six second off my previous PB.

Really nicely paced and a huge chunk off that previous PB

[JonT]

That's a huge improvement Ian. Congratulations.

[Claudius]

[stumpy]

Excellent result, you smashed it well done.

[plummy]

Well paced, well executed - well done sir!!

[Ian Bee]

Many thanks all - I'm dreaming of a sub 7

[fkoene]

Really a great improvement on an, in my opinion horrible distance.

An unexpected one:

I was just paddling initially, then thought I'd have a go at a negative split. No prizes for guessing when I though a decent time was on the cards
