Today’s workout was supposed to be a 5,000 meter rowing session but there was pain in one arm and because of that I decided to do a workout on a machine that uses the arm differently. The only reason I posted the screen recording of 127 meters is because there was evidence of more flakiness with the digitalrowing.com/ Oarbits online server and I wanted to have it available in case the programmers want to see what the problem looks like.

The substitute machine was a SkiErg. I held back and skied a lot easier than desired because HR was acting up. No screen recording for the SkiErg.

Minimalist effort today, especially with regard to pace. Slow but fairly constant with a slight increase from start to finish.

As a follow-up on yesterday’s observation that my heart rate went into tachycardia yesterday… and my comment that I thought it would return to normal while I slept… see the above graph. It returned to normal at about midnight this morning.

One of the reasons today’s 5K was so very leisurely is because I hoped to avoid that happening again today.

There were two little workouts today. The first was 5K easy on the SkiErg. Did it as a challenge to finish while my wife was grocery shopping. There was plenty of time afterwards so it was followed with another 1,000 meters as a warm down. But instead of going slower and warming down it turned out I went faster and got warmer. It felt good but heart rate didn’t slow down again after the 1K. It’s five or six hours later and it’s still thumping along at 150+. It will probably slow down to normal again while I sleep tonight.

There was no screen recording made because RowPro wasn’t used.

This was done online without scheduling because I wanted to do it immediately. There were two other rowers in the general chat room. I announced to them that a 5K was about to start, “if anyone is interested.” Neither of them responded so I guess they were otherwise occupied. I didn’t wait long before starting. You can see the question and lack of reply at the beginning of the screen recording.

The plan was to row slow/easy and fairly constant from start to finish. Though it was done online it wasn’t scheduled and therefore was done alone. It wasn’t scheduled in the future because I wanted to do it immediately.

The plan was to do a season best 2K. That was easily accomplished, but heart rate got too high and I had to limit it to an easy 2K that never got me breathing hard.

“This old man, he played two,
He played knick-knack on my shoe.
With a knick-knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rowing home.”

There was another session done earlier. It was about 3K, done about one minute at a time during rest periods between strength training sets.

This was a “race,” to finish before my wife returned from grocery shopping. Plan was to do the first 10 minutes as warmup and then do 1 minute intervals with one minute active rest. The last approximate 500 meters was warm down.

I was still perspiring but did finish the 5 kilometers a few minutes before she returned from her 6 mile round trip drive. It was a race of apples vs oranges, but since I knew about how long it would take for the 5K and about how long for the grocery trip, it was fun to do.

Scheduled this session online, 20 minutes in advance. Nobody saw it and joined so did it alone. Plan was easy warmup first 10 minutes then 10 intervals of 1 minute each for the remaining 20 minutes. Did 8 out of 10 of the intervals. Skipped the 5th and 7th because HR went too high during 4th and 6th.

This was an online session that started out with 8 or 9 rowers but the digitalrowing.com /Oarbits server acted up. You can see the weird things the server did, during the first few minutes of the screen recording. Because of the weirdness, everyone withdrew from the session and setup a QR as a substitute. Some of the original people who had joined the failed scheduled session were left out of the QR so the resulting number of rowers was a bit less than had signed up for the original scheduled session.

Today’s plan was easy first 10 minutes then 1 minute intervals. Had to skip one interval because HR went too high during the 7th interval.
