Today’s rowing should have been interesting and requiring a degree of mental focus, but instead it was boring and got almost no mental focus. It was a 10,000 meter distance that was scheduled online almost 3 hours before start time. But nobody who rows online noticed it or was able to join it at the scheduled time.
So I rowed it alone. Rowing alone doesn’t have to be boring, but other things on my mind, plus the subject matter of a documentary I chose to view while rowing… all seemed to have a summary effect of suppressing enjoyment of the rowing.
On the positive side, the distance was accomplished and heart rate was elevated slightly for almost an hour, which is a health benefit.
Happy, interesting rowing to you.
