Using a Concept2 other than my own means the foot straps are likely going to be trashed, and this was no exception, even though this was in the best condition of the ones I saw. Thus, I had to stop three times to tighten foot straps, and in doing so, inadvertently chumped my way off what would be a recent personal best at this time.
I didn't expect to do it, by any stretch. I was feeling particularly tired and almost chickened out, but I rationalized that I should just do 5,000 on the erg and be done with it. I didn't feel that great at first, cranking around 2:14/500m, but by about 800m in, I was settling in at about 2:10 pace and then just continued to accelerate where I was holding pretty steady at 2:06-2:07 in the last 1000m.
Next time, I fold over the leg straps so they don't budge, although I'm sure this speed was a one-off. The few seconds I took to tighten straps probably would've made the difference in time, about six seconds.
