2.8mi + 6,000m on Concept2 Model C, 25:33, 26 SEP 06, Fort Leavenworth KS

Cruiserweight, "To Be Quite Honest"

Z3.

Fast run to gym, even faster row. I was holding about 2:09/500m in the first 2000m, then accelerated to about 2:06-2:07/500m, and started my last 2000m at around 2:05/500m, finishing my last 500m at 2:00/500m.

Economies of form combined with some rest were probably contributors, but form matters. I honestly don't think I'd row what I did today without it. Strokes were initially slow (26 spm) but by the end were averaging around 30-31 spm in the last 500m.

Resistance knob was maxed out today. It might be time to start experimenting with different drag factors, but it had to be somewhere around 178 or so - which makes today's erg session that much more significant.

Slow run back, but the run back was important mostly just to loosen up.
