3722 Meters
Today’s session was done with no goal except to finish the distance but when the remaining distance counted down to around 800 meters I decided to aim for an average pace of 2:10.

A Warmup For Some, A Workout For Me
Today’s rowing session would have served as only a warmup for most younger people but today I was happy to call it my workout.

Another 5K Plus a Little Bit More
Plus a very, very little bit more… 26 meters to be exact. Today’s session was 5,026 meters.

A Lifelong Pursuit
According to the author of a Concept 2 blog article titled “What is The Ideal Rowing Stroke,” indoor rowing is “a lifelong pursuit of the perfect stroke. ..”
Although I seem to be very aware of each stroke, I wasn’t conscious of pursuing the perfect stroke in today’s session. Or ever, for that matter. But perhaps being aware of each stroke amounts to the same thing?
Today’s rowing session was 5,025 meters and 653 or 654 less-than-perfect but feeling-good-anyway strokes.

5024 Meters On The 24th
Today’s session started out slower than yesterday’s and finished a little bit faster than yesterday’s, to end with the same average pace as yesterday’s.

Tougher Than An Atom
Today’s distance (in meters) was tougher than any atom, because atoms can be split but today’s distance could not be split because is was a prime number, 5,023. You can try to split a prime number into factors other than itself and unity by dividing it with any and every integer less than the prime number and you will not be able to split it. Primes are absolutely indivisible, unlike atoms, any of which can be split if they collide with another particle which has sufficient energy.
So today’s session was done in one non-split RowPro session. It was not split, primarily* for the reason that RowPro 5 for the Mac has a bug which always shows itself if the total distance of a session cannot be divided into splits which are each and every one equal to each of the other split distances.
I don’t know why, but looking at some of the properties of the numbers chosen for the set distance of a rowing session adds a tiny but nonetheless helpful amount of motivation to do the rowing.

*Pun was intentional.
Four Oh Two Two

A Little Dab of Rowing Did It
Today’s rowing was 3,021 meters. Heart rate sputtered a bit and tried to get irregular but eventually gave up that tendency at about halfway through the distance and then stayed smooth and regular for the remainder.

30 Minutes Plus a Bit More
Today’s indoor rowing goal was derived by referring to the time and distance rowed yesterday by one of my training partners. She rowed for a little over 20 minutes, so I converted her total session time to seconds and divided those by the average pace in time per 500 meters of my most recent session. Then I multiplied the resulting number by 500 meters which resulted in a distance of 4,593 meters. That was a bit less than I’d like to row today. I wanted to row at least 5K, so I added her total distance rowed during her 20 minute+ session to 4,593 meters and that resulted in 6,687 meters, which was today’s preset distance.
