World Rowing Virtual Series - Round 1 - Podium Power

So browsing through Facebook early July I spotted a advert for World Rowing Virtual Series, as my rowing was going quite steady I thought I'd sign up for the craic, might help motivate me out of my 30r20 HRR 75% that I've been doing day in and out for way too long... lol there was a small vacation in Florida to complete early in July, I had endeavoured to row while out there to maintain the small bit of fitness I'd pulled back, alas it was not to be, but a great holiday was had and I even brought back a Model A :) 

So after recovering a little once we got back (post vacation I was hitting 1:55.9 ave on my 30r20 on the 23rd June to 2:02.0 ave on 16th July) but managed to buck my ideas up and on the 24th July pushed myself to a 1:54.6 with an open HR. The next day I decided to start an attempt at the Virtual Series, at 11:56pm lol sometimes the only time I get to row is very late... 

Two attempts at the 213m the first one came in at 0:32.9 and the second a few minutes later was 0:32.6 felt I had a little more to edge out but left it as it had gone midnight.. I had one other attempt but sadly it was not to be as it came after an attempt at the second round.
