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.
