Thanks all!

Last 10min of that 30 was tough, especially as I started relatively slowly.

Huge respect to those specialising in the long distances, definitely requires big mental toughness!

1:55.2/25
1:54.3/25
1:49.6/28

Have a feeling DF was a bit high for me at 5k, but will keep trying to figure this out in 2018. Average watts 237, though also still trying to figure out exactly how to interpret this as I'm quite new to it all. Am getting erg at home soon so this should help me get fitter.

Congratulations on a great time, and on a great start to the new year!

@Scott - nicely done. I agree with everyone else, even if you're not sub 7 yet you're mighty close.

@JMac - very nice work on both of those. Sub 18 5km next? I want to row another 8000+ 30 minutes soon, this time preferably without HDing.

That is huge, well done. I can't even get my split below 1:24 so that is very impressive!

20k in under 50mins...

it was a 10 x 2k R3 @R18 - : somehow it deducted the 30minute rest from the complete row time (????)
