trial 2k start and finish
Plan was "set the monitor to 2000m, row the first 750m looking for closer to 1:31 average through the first 500m (but you will achieve much of this by the first 150m fast, then 1:32), then 250m at 1:34/5.... paddle down from 1250m to 300m to go, 50m at 1:34/5, then blast the last 250m sub 1:25." I possibly went off to hard - basically counted 15 strokes and then dropped back to 1:34 with 1:35 now and then but saw some 1:36's in there - I find it awkward backing off this far and struggled to get the rhythm and was pretty glad to see 750 gone to regroup - at this point I thought the target of 1:25 for the last 250 was going to be a bit tough - started winding down to it 300m from home then counted 25 strokes at 250 to go - the odd glimpse at the monitor - the stroke was (I think) quite good technique wise and strong through the legs.
