That sounds like an interesting weekend of events. I'm quite tempted to go even though I probably won't be racing.

I’d love to race BUT I’d need to be back to lightweight AND a whole lot faster
My 8 x 500 on 2 mins today suggests I can’t break 8 minutes for 2km currently.

Plenty of time to make a good dent in that, Jef, but I'm with you. I don't feel like the added pressure of a fixed event is going to be good for me so I'm pretty certain I won't be racing it. I'm much happier doing my own little private tests in my shed.
Well, I say happier. We'll see how that holds up tomorrow.

Good luck with your 2k's tomorrow Nellers and Jef, hopefully you'll hit your targets!
I've done a few Rowalong sessions from his 10k plan this week, I found them quite enjoyable and John's waffling makes the time go quick.
I think British Rising might just have saved BRIC by moving to NEC - about £20 cheaper than last year, cheaper accomodation than London and being part of Fitfest makes it an interesting weekend.

I suspect they'll pick up entries from CrossFitters and gymrats as well as traditional rowers by moving venue and getting in with FitFest. I know they always got a few of each at Lee Valley but I'd expect it to be on another level at the new place.

Yes I think you're right, Crossfitters will probably have a go being as they're there anyway, the 500m in particular.
That's a great result mate well done, a very impressive final 500! How was you feeling throughout?
Rowalong 3 x 15 mins today, changing rate every 3 mins 18/22/24/22/18.

Those rowalong sessions seem like a great set up. Nice one.
I was very cautious after last month going so wrong but I felt pretty controlled today until the last 2-300m.
Physically I could have probably pushed harder but mentally I needed to have a good 2k on the books and not blow up so I’m happy with how it went. Next month maybe sub-7:20? We’ll see how things go.
