Month: July 2021

The session screen-recorded today, a 3,000 meters rowing session, was done online. Before it started, I typed a message in the General Chat Room inviting the rower whose name, Robin, appeared there. There was no response from that rower, so I guess he or she was otherwise occupied.

Today’s screen-recorded erg session started out to be a single easy 500 meter piece. HR was higher than it should have been and because of that it was followed with another 500m at an easier pace.

There were four sessions today. First two were 5,000 meters and the second two were the 500 meter pair.

Today’s erg workouts were two 5Ks and a 0.5K. The screenshot above is of the 0.5K, which was a season best and ranked.

Today’s 500 meter piece was an attempt to go just a tiny bit faster than yesterday’s. The approach was to maintain an average pace of about 2 minutes 6.4 seconds per 500m for the first 400 meters and then go a little faster during the last 100 meters. For what it’s worth, it turned out to be a season best for me and was ranked in the online world rankings even though it was far from being even in the top ten. You can see it in today’s screen recording.

Today’s overall goal was to do at least 15,000 meters in 4 pieces, like yesterday. Another particular goal was to do the first two each at the same average pace as the first two yesterday and then to do another 500 meters similar to the one yesterday to see if HR would get as crazy high during or after the 500 meters as it did immediately after yesterday’s, when it rose as high as 208 before settling down.

So that’s what I did and heart rate didn’t get as high during or after today’s 500m as yesterday’s.

The most fun part of today’s erg time was a 500 meter piece. It was number 3 of 4 toward today’s goal of 15,000 meters. Target for the 500m was was 2:10 for first 400m and then faster for the last 100 to the finish. It was “ranked” in the concept2.com online rankings because it was a new “season best” for that distance.

The only session today with a screen recording is that short piece. Graphs and data for the others can be viewed at the link further below.

A 500m was the shortest of four erg workouts today and it is the one for which there is a screen recording. The 500m target was to have an average pace of about 2:13 by the time remaining distance counted down to 100 meters and then to row a bit stronger for the last 100 meters.

The total distance goal for today was 15K which was done in four pieces.

There were two rowing pieces again today, 4,500 m and 500 m. The 4500 meter piece was warmup.

Target for the 500 meters was average pace of about 2:16.7, which would move me up slightly in the Concept2.com online rankings. I overshot the goal and went a bit too fast at the end.

There were two rowing pieces today, 4,500 m and 500 m. The 4500 meter piece was warmup for the shorter 500 meters.

Target for the 500 meters was average pace of about 2:18, which would move me up slightly in the Concept2.com online rankings, from 53rd to 50th place. Just for the fun of it.
