5k Row time trial

OPT Sept 23 tester

5k Row time trial
(score as time adjusted in HERE) Concept 2 rower website

This was my first time rowing a 5k for time. I was pretty happy with it. For the first 4000m I just keep thinking "sustain, sustain, this is aerobic capacity!" telling myself to find a pace that I could stay at. After the first 1000m I briefly thought I had gone out too fast but based on how I felt I realized I was fine and could hang on.  My splits verified that I did a good job at sustaining the pace. My plan was to go all out on the final 1000m if I could and I was able to manage a faster pace on that split.

Results:

Actual time - 22:29, pace avg 2:14.9
Adjusted time - 18:38
Adjusted distance - 6031m
