We both completed the Mile today for Round 2 of the Concept2 Challenge Series, with some interesting results.
Anita completed hers in 6:41.3 (2:04.7 average). She clocked 3:10 (1:58.8) at half-way, which at that point had me worried as her best 2k time (Set a couple of years ago) was at 2:08.8 average. She hit the wall at 900m (Breath and heart-rate) and struggled home, but in a very respectable time.
Unfortunately she was distraught, and I had to drum it into her that she would have broken her best 2k ever if she'd kept going, and to look at where she had come from; a complete lack of cardio exercise until she was 38. I am very very proud of her, and I hope next time she listens to me when I suggest the right pace to go at (2:01/2:02) - Next time we do this she'll go sub 6:30 :)
I started off quite quick (1:36/7) for the first minute, then settled down at 28 strokes/min, touched 1:45 once in the 4th minute and finished at 5:21.9 (1:40.0 Average) - Not bad for someone who's best 2k is at 1:44.5 Average and still sits at 128.1kg!!!! I feel fitter than I have in a long while, and with 335km rowed this month I'd hope so :)
2 Lots of 30 minutes tomorrow, 2:28 for Anita, 2:04 for me :) :)
