I was hoping for a 10K PB today, but it didn’t work out to plan.

I rowed this in the afternoon.   I did a quick 1K warmup, at home, not on slides.

Rowing at pace felt tough.  I did not go into the row with a ton of confidence.  But, off I went. I set up one pace boat at 1:49.6 and another at 1:49.5.  I held them off through almost 7K, but then I blew up.  I paddled for a few seconds, and then brought the pace back down to bout a 1:53 or so and just pushed through the rest of the way.  I wish I had just slowed down to that pace and continued versus breaking form, but I got a bit bummed out when I saw the PB slipping away.

So, not the time I was hoping for, but still a rankable performance.

Then I did a 2K happy ending cooldown.

I logged my score into the Nonathlon site, and noticed that this left me 2 points behind a team mate of mine on Free Spirits.  All the frustration from the time trial kind built up in me and I dial up a 500m piece on RowPro.  Now, I have not done ANY sprinting for the past while, I just wanted to row away the anger.  It did the trick.  My legs were heavy and my lungs were shot, but for 55 strokes or so, I didn’t really care.

The HR plot looks weird because the connection between strap and PM was a little intermittent.

Definitely something I will have to come back to after I do my power and sprinting mesocycle.
