Tending Toward Minimalism

an-sunrise-sept-15

Yesterday’s rowing was average but yesterday’s post was large and long.  Today’s rowing was small and short and I’m tending toward minimalism with this post. I was feeling lethargic this morning and didn’t get up at my usual time.  Which is why the sun is so high in the sky in this morning’s photo.  Call it tired, perhaps… but it resulted in an early morning feeling of lethargy.

Today’s rowing consisted of 7 minutes warmup followed by yet another 5 minute practice session for Fitness Matters Devon online races.

Unlike yesterday, I didn’t do any fast rowing today.  I watched the pace of the other rowers and they were either rowing quite a bit faster than I wanted or, in the case of only one, much slower. Or … in the case of the one whose initials are MR – he rowed both exceedingly fast and very slow but some of his fast sprints were quite a bit faster than 1:30/500 m, which I’m not currently capable of matching. So I knew I’d be no match for MR if it turned into a race like the brief time of Carpe Diem fun yesterday which had a very close finish.

RowPro 5 for the Mac is now working well and behaving like it should with the important things like uploading files to the correct final destination. The folks at RowPro were actually happy to troubleshoot it because I am using it with the Mac OS 10.11, “El Capitan” which they had not had a chance to beta test.

Happy trails to you.
