Today’s indoor rowing session was interrupted once, briefly but otherwise it was a relatively constant effort session. The last part tapered off as a sort of warm down.

Happy rowing to you.
Today’s indoor rowing session was chosen to be equal in time to that of one of my training partner’s whose time yesterday was 31:40.
To decide on how many splits to have RowPro make of today’s session, I found the factors of the total time in seconds, which was 1,900 seconds. The number 1,900 is divisible by 19, so the session was divided into 19 splits.
While looking at the information available related to the number 1,900 I noticed that it is classified as a “happy number”. The story or stories behind the choice of that name for the particular properties of that number must be an interesting one, but I haven’t found it yet. Happy numbers are the subject of their own little happy field of mathematics. You can look it up, if you want to learn more about it and I will stop talking about it with the period after this sentence.
RowPro 5 for the Mac behaved happily and displayed none of its programming bugs during this session.

Today’s indoor rowing session was a set time of 37 minutes and 52 seconds. That’s because one of my “training partners” had rowed earlier, in the “just row” mode and because her session lasted 37:52.4 I thought I would use that as today’s goal, to match that time and do a fraction of a second more, making it 37:53 for my session.
Heart rate tried to be irregular during the first 1/3 of the time but then smoothed out for the remainder.
But when I calculated the number of seconds in 37 minutes 53 seconds, it came out to be 2,273 seconds. That was a problem, because I wanted a total time, in seconds, which could be divided by some integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to 30, which is the possible range for the number of splits that RowPro can make for a rowing session. I wanted to make each split the same as each of the other splits because otherwise RowPro 5 for the Mac always has some calculation errors with the last, unequal “remainder” split.
2,273 is a Prime Number, so it is not divisible by any integer greater than 1.
So, instead of rounding the time up to 37:53, I rounded it down to 37:52, which amounted to 2,272 seconds, which is divisible by several integers in the range from 2 to 30.
Nonetheless, RowPro managed to activate a different glitch and do some miscalculating for one of the splits anyway, the sixth split. I thought that the 6th split was the most appropriate split in which RowPro would manifest a programming error… Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but RowPro didn’t even record the correct amount of time for the 6th split. The erroneous numbers in the record of the 6th split are in the columns for Time, Meters and Avg DPS.
The main “bottom line” numbers, the grand totals, are correct and match what the PM-3 recorded on the rowing machine.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s indoor rowing session was preset to a time of 45 minutes 36 seconds, so I could catch up to equal the time spent rowing this week by one of my “training partners”.

Today’s indoor rowing was the first in several days. I looked at my training partners and the most active training partner had rowed 8591 meters since the last day that I’d done any rowing.
So, I setup a RowPro session for that distance and that’s why the odd number was chosen.

Today’s indoor rowing session was done online but it was scheduled only about 15 minutes in advance. Nobody who was interested saw it in time to join. There were other online sessions coming up that I could have joined, but I wanted to row immediately and easy and if I’d chosen one of the other sessions, I would have been rowing later and under the influence of faster people and therefore probably would have rowed harder than I really wanted to this morning.
So I set up a 30 minute session and rowed it easy, with only one non-easy bit that consisted of 10 strokes at a somewhat hard effort.

Today’s indoor rowing session could not be construed as a minuet because it was solo and lacking in stateliness.
Today’s session was almost nothing at all, because of other things happening in the morning and because after those things happened I decided to skip rowing today.
But then I logged into the Concept2 logbook and noticed that one of my three training partners had done some rowing today, in spite of the fact that she is going through chemotherapy and today was a “crash” day, she managed to get on the rowing machine and do 19 minutes 47 seconds of rowing.
That was inspiring. So I decided to spend at least that much time rowing and did 20 minutes.

Today’s indoor rowing was a single 5K done at at target pace of 2:20/500 meters. That was half the distance rowed yesterday, but it was a little bit (7 calories, to be exact) more than half the calories burned yesterday.

Today’s indoor rowing session was a total of 10K but it was done as two 5Ks. The first 5K was done with a target pace of 2:25 and the second with a target pace of 2:20.

Today’s indoor rowing session was 10K done with a pace target zone painted on the RowPro screen. I aimed to maintain a pace that was just a little bit slower than maximum for that zone.
