This 100 m was a race against yesterday’s (using yesterday’s as the pace boat in RowPro) and because I didn’t start out fast enough I only managed to tie my yesterday’s time.

Today’s 100m graph. You can see from blue pace line that I’m restraining the effort after getting up to speed. That is deliberate, so that each day’s improvement will be small. Ignore the words “Click and drag…” at the top of this image because this image is a screenshot, not a live graph like what you will find if you click the link to the online logbook.

A couple of equally matched boats… perfect for racing!
To have a rowing race with RowPro all you need is a little imagination. Of course online rowing with other real people is the most fun but you can’t always have that at the time you want it.
Today I had a 100 meter race against my yesterday self. In other words, the pace boat against which I raced today was generated in RowPro by yesterday’s data. I managed to win the race. Congratulations today self! Sorry about that, yesterday self. As a result I moved up one place, from 44th to 43rd in the rankings. Screen recording includes warmup and warm down.

The graph for a short sprint is very plain and uncluttered.

Today’s focus was a couple of 100 meter sprints, one each on SkiErg and rowing machine. Each was finished almost as soon as it started. The focus workout for today’s screen recording was the 100 meter rowing sprint. I aimed for a pace of about 1:55 for 80 meters and then a little faster the last 20 meters. Short but fun. It was an experiment that left room for improvement. The screen recording includes warmup and warm down.

Tachyness is a made-up word unless enough people want to use it like it is being used here. Here it is being used to mean a state of having tachycardia.
Yesterday, beginning a few hours after yesterday’s focal workout of a 500m sprint and 750 meter warmdown, atrial tachycardia set in. It persisted all evening and into the next morning. Taking a couple tablets which were a relatively heavy duty dose of extract of the root of valerian herb seemed to quell it. But I’d rather it didn’t happen in the first place, because it caused a loss of about three hours sleep.
After thinking about yesterday’s workout I decided that the problem might have been triggered by the combination of 30 second wait time after yesterday’s sprint and that the warm down of 750 meters was too brief.
Thinking of those two factors today, the 30 minute wait time after today’s sprint was cancelled and the warm down began almost immediately. Also, today’s warm down was more than twice as long as yesterday’s, at 2,000 instead of 750 meters.
500 meter sprint today
The goal was an average pace of 1:54.7/500 m or faster so as to move up in season rankings. It was done . Plan was for average pace of about 1:54.7 until last 100 m then increase pace a little to the finish. Screen recording starts with 750 meter warmup and finishes with the 2,000 meter warm down.
