Reminiscent Of A Race

Finish screen of 5K portion of today’s screen recording.

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.

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.

Offline Again Today But Online Tomorrow

Yesterday’s session was skipped due to undue procrastination.  Not that any amount of procrastination is ever warranted or appropriate.  So after today’s session was finished I looked at tomorrow’s online schedule.  Surprise!  Someone had scheduled an online 5K at a convenient time tomorrow morning.  So… hopefully tomorrow’s will be online.  It’s scheduled for 1330 (1:30 pm) GMT which is 08:30 local time tomorrow morning.  If you read this in time, join in!

Today’s session was a little more than 5K.  A screen recording for rowing along with today’s session can be found here: Indoor Rowing 5348 meters 331 calories 09122018

Happy rowing to you.

Rowing In Roily Heart Rate Zones

Today’s rowing session graphs are pretty if you like chaos.  The entire session was troubled with irregular heartbeat which went away an hour or two after the rowing session was over.

The session was a preset distance of 6856 meters.  It is available for row-along as a screen recording at this link: Indoor Rowing 396 Calories 09022018

Happy rowing to you.
