Interesting on the CTC - looks like you reckon its about 2sec below 2k pace? That seems to tie in looking at the results and given my usual relative position in the table - I'll give it a go on that pacing. Nice going on the WRVIS - looks well in control. My pacing was (deliberately) fly and die as I find I do better overall on the sprints that way...but its still hard to judge how hard to fly so that the die isn't catastrophic!
My sessions:
6/3 Dumbbells and 8k @20 spm and HR cap <140 in 33:00.1
7/3 WRVIS 1k TT. Having struggled so much with the 2k last month I was a bit concerned I may be embarrassed again in the 1k but it was fine. Last year I was fifth in the old fat boys group and top Brit. Wont do that well again given that Richard is now over 60 but really wanted to better my time from then of 3:16.1. Best this season (last Sept) was 3:15.7. So I set off at "fly" pace hoping to hold it through 800 and then gradually die over the last 200. Only kept it up to 700 and nearly rowed myself to a standstill in the 9th 100 and was worried I might not finish...but somehow kept going, albeit slowly! Nevertheless finished with a 3:15.8 (1:35.7; 1:36.2; 1:36.5; 1:38.5; 1:42.5). So primary target of better time achieved. And it puts me currently 2nd in category, but with only about a 1/4 of the entries from last year there'll be loads more to come and I'll no doubt drop down a bit - I'm currently 11th in the main Rankings. Properly painful though...I wont be having another go!
