Fall Team Challenge

September 2021 – Fall Team Challenge

Following on from the achievements of August I continued to make slow improvements and my weight had also started to drop.

I started doing many of the the C2 workouts of the day (WoD) as something planned to do as a workout, varying between the short, medium and long, depending on what I best liked the look of on the day.

My next 2K PB was on 01/09/2021 at 8:35.9, this was done as one of 6 intervals with 2:00 rest between each interval, this was the C2 workout of the day, however because this was an interval and not a single distance it could not be ranked.

Likewise a few days later I managed another new PB of 8:09.9, but again it had been entered as an interval.

However my 2K on 08/09/2021 at 8:15.9 was entered as a single distance so became my new ranked PB and placed me in the 38th percentile.

My next 5K PB was on 13/09/2021 at 21:02.9 moved me up to the 48th percentile for 5K.

The next challenge on the Concept 2 calendar was the Fall Team Challenge, This is simply row as many metres as you can between 15 September and 15 October for your chosen team.

I initially set my team affiliation to Lunatics from the C2 Forum, but ultimately changed it to Dark Horse Rowing once I realised they were represented.

I contributed 484,666m for the team which helped the team finish 5th, with me being the 8th highest contributor.

During this challenge I also completed my first half marathon on 18/09/2021 at 1:47:25.7 which placed me in the 8th percentile.

I also completed 8 more half marathons my best being on 12/10/2021 at 1:35:38.8 which moved me up to the 39th percentile.

My next 2K PB was on 01/10/2021 at 07:49.4, my first sub 8 minute 2K which now placed me in the 58th percentile for 2K.

I also managed a new 10K PB on 06/10/2021 at 43:11.3 that moved me up to the 45th percentile for 10K
