$%$"£*ing RowPro (and a PB)

I was so excited to be rowing live with Petr. I was so gutted that RowPro crashed 0.1seconds in to the race. I had to row alone - and put my "home" PB in as pace boat. Here is how it went from the Free Spirits forum:
I was cross and very pumped up and set off hard but it felt soft. I hit race pace after about 10 strokes with the average split on about 1:36. I then held 1:41 until the split reached my PB (1:40.9) which was, amzingly, at about 1200 in. I then edged the split down and got home 1 second under BIRC 2006 with 6:42.5 @ 1:40.6.
The splits went like this which ties in with my experience of the race. I was pleased with my heart rate since it appeared not to dip at the end!

Can I knock 2.6 seconds off the middle 1000m? I don't know but I think I will be giving it a go at BIRC, maybe aiming for 800 @ 1:41, 600 @ 1:40, 400 @ 1:39 and 200 @ 1:38 for a 6:39.9?

Looks plausible on the page...

Metres today: 7,156
