10K Recovery With An Easter Egg

Today’s heart rate variability reading was the surprise you see in the above screenshot.  Last night’s sleep was interrupted with insomnia but the total time sleeping was adequate.  (see screenshot below)

A bout of insomnia interrupted last night’s sleep between 2 and 4 a.m.

Assuming the analysis and advice of EliteHRV was correct, I chose to do a recovery 10K.  “Recovery” is relative and subjective, but a pace of 2:20 seemed like a good compromise, pending what the HRV result will be tomorrow.

So the 10K was done at a target average pace of 2:20 and an “Easter egg,” as a computer programmer might call it, was inserted when the distance counted down to 1,150 meters remaining.

A screen recording was made for those of you who’d like to row along with today’s 10K.  It’s link is on YouTube here: Indoor Rowing 10K with Easter egg 12162018

Happy rowing to you.
