A Long Minute

Each second seems longer than normal, when sprinting with maximum effort.

Today’s main session was the shortest, a one minute rowing sprint. It was the “main” session, mainly because it was the most fun. The other, longer session was 146 Calories on the SkiErg, which was done first, as a sort of warmup for the one minute rowing sprint.

Time does seem to pass more slowly, when doing something like sprinting with maximum effort. In contrast, each minute of today’s much lower effort-level session on the SkiErg seemed to pass relatively quickly.

The report for the one minute sprint is divided into 3 splits of 20 seconds each. First split was slower than the second split, though I was freshest during the first split – because it took extra time to accelerate from a stop. The third split was slower than the second split for a different reason: because after 40 seconds I was getting tired and involuntarily slowing.
