under 85s Dons, I don't think so - my bones alone weigh more than that...<br />

You've already lost a fair bit though haven't you? Halfway there!  <br />
<br />
One of the guys this year was allegedly in triple figures at New Years and made it down by April... funnily enough he plays in the front row  :happy:

evening 4 x 500m rows.  first two just warmups, in 1:58 and 1:54.  Next two were 500m PB attempts, but both ran out of gas after 250m at 1:28 and 1:26 rate (with different settings).  Then just finished the rows easing home in 1:48 and 1:43.  Amazing how quick the wheels fall off when you haven't been doing much 'pace rowing'!!<br />
<br />
Must work on this, my old PB for this distance from a few years back 1:28, so a target to hit...<br />
[/quote]<br />
Have you had another crack at 500m yet? <br />
<br />
I just managed to do a 1:39.5<br />
<br />
Given how much faster on all the other distances you are, I guess you should be able to do a low 1:30 without too much effort? But feel free to give up and concede I am better <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

[BartMan]

my PB from a few years ago is 1:28.6.<br />
<br />
haven't given it another nudge - should do so, and actually finish it, even when the wheels fall off at the end!!  Might do it on the erg at the gym though, as that seems to give me more return for my pull  <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

[Duluth]

Yeah I was conveniently overlooking your PB.. anyway shouldn't it be on season results? <br />
<br />
I was just enjoying having a better time than you on a distance. I suspect that might be very sort lived considering I can't even hit a 1:28 split let alone hold it.

[BartMan]

mate, you can have it, it hurst too much the 500m time.  I must be a middle distance rower or something!!<br />
<br />
I might cracnk out a few 500s with rests inbetween them tonight, a sort of srpint training thing, and see how that goes...

[BartMan]

Monday rowed 3000m in 11:36<br />

Just lost the mojo at the moment, bloody pisses me off, especially after the week started so well!!

[BartMan]

Wednesday, still no Mojo.  Rowed morning and night, 3500 each time, 14 odd minutes each time - thats a 2:00/500 rate.  useless eh.

[BartMan]

Well blow me down.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
20 minute sit up, press up, curl session, then<br />
<br />
5000  19:10.0<br />
<br />
so two rowsa exactly the same time, quite bizzare - not planned, as I was wathing MASH on DVD as I rowed.  Incidently, you can get a 6k row in per episode of mash - they take about 24 minutes!

[BartMan]

Monday morning    5000    18:48.5

[D-Up]

Good work Bart! you are building up quite a telly of k's there.<br />
<br />
Whats your best time for 5000? how often have you been improving on your PB?

[BartMan]

lunch :  5000  18:32.0<br />
<br />
D-up PB's have been getting a bit of a knocking this year, have gone past old marks quite often - at the moment just tyring to get a base in of faster rowing, so when I give them a nudge again, I'll be able to knock them off again.  Blew my 10k time out of the water (so to speak) by 41 seconds a week or so back.  Anyway, PBs at the moment...<br />
