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.

Happy rowing to you!
