5km Times

[cyclopath]

Hadn't done one for ages, but have been doing other stuff for fitness and strength. Gave it a crack yesterday - 19.28 so only 3 s off my best. Ugly scenes followed on the floor next to the machine - 42 year old hyperventilating on the floor tends to alarm the gym staff apparently!

Did my first row in bout 2 years and managed a 19:57. Was f**ked at the end. Rowing is a lot harder than cycling xzxflag_of_truce

lol @ cyclo!!<br />
<br />
love it, and am jealous of you guys rowing at the moment. My father has taken over mine as I do the bodybuilding thing. He racks out between 5-10k a day. Not bad, considering he was born in 1939...!!

I will try and do this at least once a week. 9 minute improvement on my previous time (1st time ever). Time 21.02.07

Have returned to the rower for some variety. Was doing 5k in intervals - 500m, 1min rest, and so on, average about 1.52-4 for each.<br />
So I thought "How hard can a straight 5k be?"<br />
19.32 - happily surprised. Forgot how much the bastard hurts.
