I was happy with my first round score but I knew it took way too much out of me. I started the next round and the tank felt empty right out of the gate. It was all I could do to hold it under 2 minutes. Lot of fitness work to do.
As much as I didnt want to do Bermuda Triangle again I was made at myself for not following my strategy. I dont have the rowing conditioning to expect to crank out sub 1:50's at that distance, My plan was to do a 1:58 first 2k and then try to get down to 7:16 or as close as possible and then 3rd round not go backwards overall.
The plan started out well - Did a 1:56.6 and my heart rate stayed under control. 2nd round started off well but halfway thru I started losing steam on 7:16 split and so I went into damage control. Did a 7:23 which was still better than last time around. The last round was keep it under 7:48 and I could even improve the overall score. Nailed it overall. Didnt improve my placing yet but it may help me when additional scores are posted.
I should have taken a rest day before I attempted Bermuda Triangle. I also should have waited until the afternoon
to do it. So with those two observations you will see that I didtn
light this workout on fire at all. I pretty much stunk the place up.
My round 1 score was suppose to be worst case pace for 3 rounds. That all feel apart in rounds 2 and the wheels totally fell off in round 3. Ouch!
