Yesterday

Though “Yesterday” is the name of a song by the Beatles, the title isn’t referring to them or any other beetles. It is referring to yesterday, August 25th 2020.

I intended to do this blog post yesterday but bedtime arrived before that happened. Yesterday’s workout time consisted of two single sessions: A morning rowing session and a late afternoon SkiErg session.

Before the afternoon SkiErg session began the temperature and humidity in the room was 80 degrees and 40% humidity. Immediately after the SkiErg session, the humidity had climbed to 46% even though the air conditioner was working to remove water from the air. There is a bowl outside under the outlet of the air conditioner condensation drain. This time of the year it is always kept full to overflowing with “distilled” water that has been removed from the air in the house. Though it is hot outside – over 100 degrees – the water in that bowl is always cool. Local birds, rabbits and an occasional bushy-tailed squirrel visit that bowl to sip the water.

I was the source of the elevated humidity because my glasses and body were covered with sweat before the session ended. There was a large wet spot on the platform under where I’d stood on the SkiErg. It felt good to sweat without working hard.

Screenshots of the charts for each of the two sessions are immediately following this paragraph. More details and data for each session are available with a click on the link in the second to last paragraph.

Fourteen Intervals In The Weather

The background sound for today’s workout time was randomly selected classical music streamed through a loud speaker in the room. Classical music reminds me of being outdoors in the weather, feeling the breath of the climate as it inhales, exhales and continuously changes from moment to moment.

Today’s workout activity consisted of an 11,490 meter rowing session first thing in the morning followed by some time on the SkiErg in the afternoon.

The rowing session started out slow while warming up and then became a little bit less slow the rest of the distance to the finish.

The SkiErg was a bit more fun because it consisted of 14 short intervals within a total session of 340 Calories. Screenshots of the SkiErg activity are shown below.

Good Behavior

Heart behavior was GOOD today.

Today’s workout activities consisted of an 11,490 meter rowing session in the morning and a 376 Calorie SkiErg session in the afternoon.

Heart rhythm behaved mostly okay in the morning and was even better, on very good behavior in the afternoon.

Interesting With Intervals

There have been workout sessions every day of the past few weeks since the previous blog post.

Today I decided to take a break from taking a break from posting to this blog. Today’s workout time was typical of recent: A rowing session in the morning and a SkiErg session in the afternoon.

You can see data and graphs for today’s rowing session at the link to the online logbook mentioned in a paragraph above. A screenshot of the graph and data for today’s SkiErg session is just below this paragraph.

The SkiErg session was made a bit more interesting by alternating from tortoise-slow to rabbit-fast paces. The faster intervals were limited to ten calories each.

Happy rowing to you!
