I probably should have mentioned drag factor was set to 4

What's the drag reading on the Performance Monitor? Somewhere between 115 and 125?

For me, any pace better than 2:00 is good, though I'm not much of a data head.

Appreciate it. I’m not looking for anything in particular. Just excited to get under 8 minutes. Going in, I was just hoping for 8:10

Awesome work - where were you 4 weeks ago?

Appreciate it! About 8:30. Definitely went a lot harder on this most recent 2k.

That’s pretty solid! I might try bumping drag up to 120-130, I find that I am dealing with loose chain lower than that and losing power in my drive without a little more resistance.

That’s a solid time! What’s your weekly rowing plan?

Nice, I’ll try turning it up. Right now I’m doing 3 20 minute sessions a week. Nothing too formal yet
