ANOTHER 6k Erg Test – August 13, 2011

…and ANOTHER personal best score! :D

August 13, 2011 10am @ SFU Burnaby ‘Dungeon’

170 Watts, 25:26.3 total, 2:07 split, 29 spm.

This round of testing was particularly for those on the team doing what they call RADAR testing, to send in their qualifying scores to be considered for elite/provincial/national development teams. But even though several of us on the team are not doing the full battery of tests, we’re still doing the 2000m (2k) and the 6000m (6k) for solidarity’s sake, and to find out where each one of us is at in terms of personal growth as an athlete.

And I took a little video too! I’m obviously not in this one but it does capture a little bit of the intensity/suffering/joy/PAIN that is the goodness we know as rowing. I called it “SHOW ME YOUR 6K FACE”. For those who don’t know what a 6k face might look like, it’s mainly a look of determined grittyness mixed with a healthy dose of asphixiation and pain.

Enjoy the video! (oh and I have that 2k to look forward to tomorrow morning!)
