More Cowbell; More Power 10

Sunday, November 23, 2008
Meters: 5,509
Time: 25:00
Strokes per minute: Power 10; 4 x 3
Total Meters Rowed: 130,265

I dropped my Power 10 reps from five to four (at minutes 4, 5,  6 & 7; 11, 12, 13 & 14; and 18, 19, 20 & 21) in an effort to get in three sets instead of the usual two. It was worth the effort, and it was quite the effort, that third set. The good news: I was able to do these Power 10s (10 strokes all out) at close to if not below 1:50 pace. This in remembrance of how when all was said and done on the 2,000 meter 8-minute time trial a week ago Friday that I realized it hadn’t all been all or nothing after all. A 1:50 pace over the full 2,000 meters would bring me in at 7:20. I can’t do that (can I?). But even just attempting it sure would be a lot more ALL than nothing.
