New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[winniewinser]

That's bad to hear, hope you're OK!

Respect for starting a second try and finishing with a respectable time (and PB, even if it was not the pace you wished)!

I hadn't had any occurrences in the last few weeks but I guess this was a bridge too far. Very frustrating as I may need to slow right up again until I can see a cardiologist. Health more important I know but I am quite competitive with myself so find any restriction on my efforts really frustrating.

Ooook, I have my new 2k PB ready! I am going to let you guess before I tell. Some background info:

-Previous PB was 6:29 from 2013. I was not erging actively back then, just used it for cardio now and then
- My most recent PB is from mid January 2020, 6:31.7 in the NIRC.
-During todays session, I actually HD'ed for one stroke(was about to put handle in storage, before realizing it would be foolish to stop with approximately 600 meters left).
-I am not completely satisfied with my new PB.

What is my new PB?

6:16.0 total my target for the last few week has been getting to sub 6:15, that is why I have failed 2 or 3 times.

Guess I would have been at least closer to 6:15 if I did not stop and handle down, that probably cost me about 1 sec.

Nice one, need to update all your other PBs now

Well done Rod!

Another good session Rod, very well done

Fantastic session Rod - yet another BR. Well done!

Thank you for the kind words Nick, Mike and Winnie, I hope to have more to report soon…fingers crossed!

6k Time Trial

21:52.9

1:49.4 average pace

32 average spm

New British Record in the 60-69 Lwt category (the ''Little old men'')...and an ''all time'' PB for me so happy with that.

Pretty darn good. Don't see any other LWts 60-64 below 22:00. I think this is better than your 5K this season. Just think about how good 21:24 is.

Think I have pretty much done the round of updating all my PB's now, I assume there will be more of a struggle to get new PB's from now on except the 6k, that one should be quite easy, as the split of that PB is slower than my 30 min PB

Congrats, big jump, but in line with your recent stuff. Build your motor, think you have good bit extra in you.

500, 1k, 10k are all low hanging fruits. 500 a paddle

6:16 with a tea break thrown in.... amazing

'Dissapointing' PB in the Spring Series 6km for team #RockTheBoat. This was my second attempt after an HD 10mins before when my rate jumped from 165 to 220... again . I stopped as I felt naff but was more gutted that I couldn't get it done.

That's no good. Err on the side of caution.

Outstanding work. Properly fast, but I'm looking forward to seeing you get even quicker.

I know....4th or 5th time I've had this blip and so far it passes in a minute or two. I'm seeking a BUPA referral from my GP at the moment to see a cardiologist. I've tried to think if this might be due to me dropping around 10kgs and now being LWT but I definitely had this the first time as a HWT when I first did 500m intervals. I wrote that one off as a technology blip but don't believe it can be now as I really feel my heart racing in my chest.
