Today’s training session was the warmup for the main session today, which was 5,142 meters done for the month’s Bob Spenger Memorial Challenge on c2ctc.com.
The training session was 5K easy, with 500m before & after as its warmup and warm down.
That was followed by the 5,142 meter piece, which was divided into 6 splits so that each split would be the same distance. (If each split is NOT the same distance, RowPro 5 for the Mac makes an error in calculating results for the last split.)
For the 5,142 meter piece, I didn’t want to try to do it as fast as possible because its an odd distance and it wouldn’t be useful as a ranking piece. Also, today was scheduled to be a training REST and RECOVERY day, so that was another reason to show restraint. So I set up a pace boat for a pace of 2:00/500 meters and stayed even with the pace boat until the final split, when I picked up the pace a bit faster.
Happy rowing to you.
