Pete Plan Cycle 1 Week 2 Day 6 Steady State 15K

AT-Oct-21-sunrise

Today’s Pete Plan rowing was a recovery session after yesterday’s hard distance. It was 15,000 meters done offline.  No warmup.  Easy music playing.  First priority was a HR zone target of 60% to 75% HRmax.  Second priority was to try for a rating of 22.  There was no target pace… I wasn’t going to try to control the pace today but hoped it would be within the range of no faster than 2:11 and no slower than 2:25.  Drag factor 135.  Straps were not tightened at all.  No warm down.

Looking at the pace graph afterwards, it is a lot less volatile than for the same session two days ago.  Might be in large part because today I wore a sweatband and moved the towel out of reach so I wouldn’t be tempted to take one hand off the handle while reaching for a towel and mopping sweat.

The little downward spikes in heart rate each occurred when I burped. Heart rate must be sensitive to internal pressure.
