Spurred Faster By Text Messaging

Finish screen for today’s mostly two-handed 10K.

Today I decided to see what happened if I rowed slow enough that heart rate would be a lot lower than 120 BPM.  But the extra-slow rowing only lasted about 3,500 meters.  Someone started text-messaging me, so I replied by taking a brief video of the rowing monitor with one hand and continuing to row with the other hand.  The text I sent along with that brief video was “I’ll be done in about 30 minutes.”

You can see that one-handed rowing video here: “Rowing with one hand while texting“.

Then I increased the effort and rowed a bit harder so that the “done in 1bout 30 minutes” part would be true.

The 10K was uploaded to YouTube as a screen recording and can be found at this link: “Indoor Rowing From Below To Inside A Heart Zone 02052018
