2k time trial
6:38.8, at 29spm, DF~150

I think I can do better. Had a fairly gluttonous weekend. I'm starting a 2000m interactive program training 3x per week for 26 weeks (I'll lift another 2d per week). We'll see where that gets me. Sub 6:30 is the goal.

All either 1:44.8 or 1:44.9

Next week I'll try and go between 1:45.0-1:45.5, then the week after all under 1:45 (sub 7:00)

Some easier UT1/2 stuff after the 4x2000/5:00r on Sunday:

Yesterday did 50r20 at 2:04.8
Today did 10km at 1:55.8, 23spm

Shaving time off this routine week by week. Next two weeks I'll try them all in the 1:45's, then go for sub 7:00

Essentially the same workout as yesterday, slightly faster pace.
Gotta get that HR down.

edited to include recovery time.

Second time doing the 4x2000m/5:00r this week. Last time I did it in 1:48.9, thanks to a burst on the last 500-1000m of the fourth one. The plan was to stay in the 1:48's throughout, with a burst at the end to get into the 1:47's, and keep going like that until I find my plateau. Ended up at 1:47.9,...

A little background: I've just started using the C2 regularly over the last month. We had a team-based fitness competition/fundraiser, and one of the events was a 1000m row. I pulled a 3:07 with really no prior rowing experience, and it got me thinking I'd like to try and erg a bit more consistently...
