The main goal for today’s indoor rowing session was to fix the problem of irregular heartbeat which had at about 3 a.m. today. If you’ve ever had that problem, you know it can interfere with sleep. I tried to go back to sleep but finally gave up on that and made some coffee, checked the news and did a couple chores.
Irregular heartbeat persisted, so I changed into rowing clothes and started rowing. After about 3,000 meters of easy rowing, the rhythm smoothed out. After it became regular again, I increased the pace slightly, to aim for an average pace of 2:18.9 or so for the 10K.

If you have rowed-along with any of the screen recordings and wonder why I just sit in silence for about two minutes after the session is over, its because I’m checking heart rate recovery. The Apple Watch keeps track of and graphs heart rate for two minutes after a workout is over, so you can see how that goes. Here’s its recovery chart for the two minutes after today’s 10K:

Happy rowing to you.
