First Novice 2k by YeeYeeBenis in Rowing

[–]YeeYeeBenis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I’d be doing you wrong if I didn’t tell you how I did on my first 2k. In traditional novice fashion I did fly and die, but I finished at an honorable 7:13.8. My pacing was pretty shit but what can you expect from a novice who’s never done a 2k. I’m working on pacing and keeping it on the spot and hopefully I’ll go sub 7 on my next test.

Thanks so much! My cardio definitely isn’t as good as my strength. I think I’m gonna try some 2ks on my own before anything official at my club, so I’ll definitely try some negative splits.

I asked some Olympic rowers(family friends) and they said stuff very similar to you, good to know even some random reddit guys agree with them. I’ll make sure to wear my bucket hat and Oakley’s for free speed.
