Afib Is A Drag When Racing

This guy was knocked out of a race in the 2016 Olympics by an obstacle. At least he didn’t have Afib…

Today’s rowing session was a 30 minute online race. There was a total of 14 people in the race. After the race began and I watched everyone’s paces for a few minutes I decided that I could finish in 9th or 10th place, if I aimed for a pace of about 2:07.

That was working out well until about halfway through the half hour, when heart rhythm went into its Afib nutso-mode and I had to slow down. So I slowed, picked up the pace, slowed again and repeated that several times, but couldn’t shake the Afib. The result was that I finished last place. At least I finished. 🙂

Perhaps I should have warmed up a bit first?

A screen recording was made of the online race and is available for those who’d like to row-along with it. It’s YouTube link is: Indoor Rowing 30 Minutes with Afib 02242019
