Today was a bit of follow-through from yesterday. That is, I followed through with yesterday’s determination to avoid procrastination by joining a scheduled rowing session and this morning I kept the appointment online and rowed with several others. The other rowers were at various places in Europe and the United States.
I tentatively decided to pace the slowest person in the group and maybe let it turn into a race. But that person, though he started out at a doable pace, slowed down a bit too much. So there was no race for me, but I rowed a little bit faster than the best time this season and therefore set a new season best, which was entered into the online rankings for 5K in my age category.
Today’s rowing session was only “reminiscent” of a race, because I didn’t row hard enough for it to qualify as a race. I’ve been rowing at an easy pace for so long, that I had a hard time deciding how to categorize today’s effort but finally settle on “medium” since the only part of the session that increased respiration rate even a little bit was during the last few hundred meters.
A screen recording of the session can be found at this link: Indoor Rowing Online 5K and warmdown 09132018
The first part of the screen recording has the 5K and then there is a 2K warm down on the screen recording, which I did with one other guy who had been in the original group.
Happy rowing to you.
Yes, it’s been about three days since the previous rowing session. Today’s rowing screen recording, for rowing-along-with, was saved at this link:
