**** 60min PB ****

Have to say thanks to Andy Jones - after a day of chores I'd just bathed and popped the baby to bed - so while I waited for her to settle I had a quick look at the blogs - I'd almost decided not to go out and row - it was gone 9pm - but he gave me the kick I needed.
Plan was to punish myself as I'd missed to many sessions this week with a cold and wimping out - so a hard 60min sounded like it would do the trick - looking at the rankings the current No1 in the 30-39 group was 17300 by Lars Gumprecht (my PB was 17137) - so that was the target - 1:44.0 and thought r24 would be good to go. So outside I went into the 11c shed with 93% humidity - ahh Ireland - wet and cold! 2k warm up - then set the 60min - splits at 3:45 and off I set.
To be honest I found it reasonably comfortable - was thinking at 12min in it might start to hurt - but got through in good shape and under target - then told myself if I stayed at 1:43.5 pace at 20min I would back off for the middle 20min - but I didn't need to and kept at it - one eye on the HR though - my 2k TT's had maxed at 178 (although my max HR was 190 I hadn't seen that for a while) as it got over 178 I thought I better settle back in order to ensure I got to the end - also my knees started to hurt a tad - but with a minute left I decided to thump it home
