Pleased with this afternoon’s 10k. I felt strong during the whole piece, although I could feel myself getting pooped near the end. At the outset, I was pretty confident that I was going to hit my 10k in 40 minutes goal, but I gave up some seconds during the piece. I stayed focused through most of the row.

I pasted my previous PR and today’s side by side in Affinity Photo so you can see them side by side. Watts were up by 2, I shaved about six seconds off last week’s time, and got my average pace under 2:01/500k. The good news too is that I kept my stroke rate the same, so I was pulling with a hair more power than last week.

And hey: my 2023-24 season is almost at an end (the ErgData app is calculating my season as starting on May 1st of last year, which is around when we got the second Concept2 Model D). I’ve logged just over 2 million meters since then.
