NSR I Time Trial Result

Well, my goal to have a good piece in the Time Trial for the Men's Single is accomplished.  However, the result is not what I was looking for, or expecting with such a good piece.  With a 7:00 time, I finished 26/33 overall, about 20 secs back off the winning time (6:40) , and 8 secs out of a top 18 qualifying time (6:52).  Some of the lightweights did very well, others (like me) did not make the cutoff.  I race tomorrow in the D or E final - there are no more opportunities to advance to an A, B, or C Final.

Below is the graph of splits and stroke rates from my race.  Consistent, but much slower than Monday's 3' pieces, more so than I expected, a 1:48 avg (overall) vs Monday's 1:43-44 avgs.  But what's done is done, and I raced as fast as I could.  Congratulations to Jon Greer from SRC for advancing, as well as James Dietz.  They race in the heats to advance to the A/B Semis and C final this afternoon.

Here is a quick snapshot of the Time Trial results in graph form, the full results can be found on usrowing.org under their NSR I 2012 coverage.  Horizontal axis is bow #, vertical axis is seconds above six minutes.  The lowest valley represents the fastest time, 6 minutes 40 seconds.
