A Celebration Party Day

Today’s indoor rowing main event was an online “celebration party” to celebrate Anne Badane’s having rowed more than 20 million meters.  The online session was maxed out, with 16 rowers participating.  It was a merry crowd and a happy thing to be celebrating in the small world of indoor rowing.

Before the Celebration Party 20 minute session began, Anne announced that she’d be giving a prize to the person whose distance during the 20 minutes had the most zeros and/or twos.  There were four winners who each had 3 twos in their final distances.  There were actually five, but one of them was Anne.  The winners were Damien Roohr with 5,222 meters, Doug Rolland with 4,222 meters, Albert Kavsek with 4,222 meters and Vincent Guéret with 5,222 meters.

As for me, I chose to aim for an easy pace that would give a target heart rate of about 130 and then during the final minute of the session, I went faster to the finish.

After today’s main event of the 20 minute celebration of Anne Badane’s 20 millionth meter, I did two supplemental 3K pieces at even easier paces, to bring today’s total distance rowed to over 10K.
