Again, Between 7 & 8 Thousand Meters

Today’s indoor rowing session was like yesterday’s.  Which is to say that to get the distance goal I added the most recent daily meters rowed by training partner DN to 5K and that resulted in a goal of 7,832 meters. She rowed a few more meters than her previous session, so I burned 9 more calories than my previous session with those additional meters.

Happy rowing to you.

A Couple Short Ones

Finish screen for the 500 meter piece.

Today’s rowing was a couple of short ones.  First there was a 2536 meter piece, followed by a 500 meter piece.  There was a little bit more in addition to those two, but it’s not worth mentioning.

The distance 2,536 was chosen so as to match the distance rowed yesterday  by a training partner, DN.  The 500 meter piece was done at a little bit faster pace than easy, so I guess it was “medium” and afterwards I ranked it among the Concept 2 rankings.

Because Of Early Sunshine

Today I managed to do some rowing.  Instead of avoiding it.  And Managed to do it fairly early in the morning.  That was an accomplishment, because I’ve been having trouble with inertia lately.  Inertia, “a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged, as “the bureaucratic inertia of government” to use one common definition.

Because I had to go outside early this morning, to take care of some pack rat traps placed outside yesterday evening in the hopes of capturing a rat which had been targeting our car’s engine compartment as a place for its residence…. I was exposed to the super bright sunshine which is common in Arizona.

The rat was dealt with and I was “lit up” enough by the sunlight, to do some rowing.

The session was a preset distance of 6,818 meters.  The distance was chosen by adding of the most recent three rowing sessions done by training partner DN.

A screen recording was made and it is here: Indoor Rowing about 30 minutes 08012018

Happy rowing to you.

A Training Partner Distance Matching Day

Today’s distance was chosen to match the total distance rowed by one of my training partners during the most recent 3 days she has done any rowing from July 19th through July 26th.

The session was recorded as a screen recording and those who want to row-along with it or race against it may find it at this location: Indoor Rowing 322 Calories 07272018

Fairly Smooth 300 Calories

Today’s rowing session was a time-constrained 5,000 meters which amounted to 300 calories.

A screen recording is available for rowing-along-with at: Indoor Rowing 300 Calories 07242018

If you row along with me using that screen recording, your calories may total other than the round number of 300 calories, depending on your pace.

Happy rowing to you.

Another 10K To The Collection

Today’s was another 10K.  I felt low energy this morning. Could it have been due to the lack of coffee before rowing? For whatever reason, the perception was of low energy.  RowPro displayed an initial heart rate of 48, 47, 48 … so at the very least, I was almost as relaxed as if I were asleep. Then I took a deep breath, cleared my throat and adjusted feet to start rowing and heart rate started to rise.

A screen recording for rowing along with is available at this link:  Indoor Rowing 570 Calories 07232018

For the calorie-conscious, you can see by the title of the link that total calories burned was 570.  Get to the finish line ahead of me and you will burn a few more than I did.

Happy rowing to you.
