16:19 on RowPro

Today was a 16:19 race (Boat Race record time) on-line with RowPro. RowPro didn't lose me, so that was good. From the Free Spirits forum:

I aimed for a 1:49.9 split, but knew that this was optimistic. I hung in for 5 minutes at this pace, then couldn't maintain it and fell back. Meanwhile the other two were pushing off in to the distance. I then hung on for the next 2,000 or so, with the split slipping back. I was holding on with a heart rate around 180, waiting for 3:30 to go when I knew that I could push on. I was hoping that I could drag the split back down below 1:50, but it was not to be. I took 30m out of Huw though

Good race. I would have stopped at ten minutes without those boys. So thanks to them for towing me home: 4,424m @ 1:50.7

Metres today: 8,493
