I think it'll take your best, not your first, performance for each distance/time. I'm sure it said in the bumf that you could try each distance as often as you liked.

1000m done. 3:31.5
That was surprisingly less unpleasant than I had feared, which probably means I should have gone faster.
But I couldn’t.

So after the 1km last night I had a cough. I don’t think I’m ill. I just think you hat I’m unused to breathing that hard and deeply recently.
I had planned to do the 10 minute piece afterwards but I really couldn’t in the circumstances so I did a warm down and called it a day.
This morning I’m feeling a bit tight and tired and I’ve chosen to “cheat”. I’m going to do the 10k this morning but I’ve done a 10 minute warmup for it.
That means when I’ve done the 10k I’ve nominally finished the Heptathlon.
I still lan to do a proper effort 10 minute piece, either later today or tomorrow afternoon but at least now I’ve got the insurance policy in place to have completed the challenge.
Now I just need to get this 10k done.😬

39:47.0. That was a real mental battle. Too long to think how much it’s hurting.

Nice 10k time Nellers.
Playing catch up today as plan fell apart this week due to other commitments.
10:00 just done as warm-up/half-hearted attempt. 2424m logged.
I am working from home so just checking some stuff and then going for the 1609m.

Good luck with it Sinj. Life has an unfortunate habit of getting in the way of the important stuff doesn't it?;-)

Jeez Sinj! Did the Erg burst into flames after that? HUGE mile performance there. Well done mate.

I think a 2k PB attempt might be on the cards.
I think I have just come off of the side of a plateau.
Times weren't improving much, but my splits have recently taken a small jump.
Whereas previous 10ks had been around 2:10 at best, 2:10 now feels comfortable.
Hopefully this will convert to a new 2k PB, maybe in a couple of weeks.
