Slowest Fastest Season Best 10K

Today’s 10K was faster than a speeding sloth.

Today’s main workout was 10K rowing. Heart rate monitor wasn’t working correctly so that’s the reason this turned out to be a season best 10K… I never saw HR go too fast and therefore didn’t have to slow down for it…ha ha. Maybe I should just not wear a heart-strap?

If you look at the red line for heart rate on the graph, you’ll notice that for most of the session heart rate was around 54. I suspect it had something to do with wher the strap was mounted on my arm and the stroke rate. I was rowing at a stroke rate of about 27 most of the time. Each stroke is two arm movements, one on the drive and the other on the recovery. 2 X 27 = 54 and I think the heart strap was measuring that with its detector lights instead of heart rate most of the time.

This 10K was slower than any other year’s season best but it was the fastest this season so it is the slowest fastest 10K season best.

Graphs of heart rate, pace and strokes per minute for today’s 10K.
