C2 = Concept 2 Rower

TT = Time Trial=  A  measurement of maximum work capacity/power output over a set amount of time or distance.  The time trial is often called the race of truth.  It is done alone and should be re-tested under similar conditions and the same distance/time. 

Tempo= Reduced but consistent pace for time or distance. 100% is all out effort, 90% is a 10% pulled back effort. Range between 85% to 95%.

Deviation Window: Sports will list a deviation window with the phrase, "Hold within," (for example, 2-3 seconds or 3-5 seconds). All efforts for that particular sport should be kept within this range to work on pacing.

Hold within 2-3 seconds: The difference between your fastest repeat and slowest repeat should be 3 seconds at most. You are looking to repeat the same times with a small, if any, deviation in times. This teaches pacing.
