Cold But No Haywire

The sun was its normal color this afternoon but it felt so cold outside when I got a daily ration of a few minutes direct sunlight, that I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had been blue.

Today’s main workout was 10,000 meters indoor rowing at a steady pace whose average target was 2:33.4/500 meters. It was the seventh of seven sessions today.

In addition to the rowing 10K there were six other sessions. They were shorter ones, on both SkiErg and rowing machine, which served as warmup before the 10K. You can see the graphs and data for any of those by visiting this link to my online logbook, looking for log entries that were made on today’s date and clicking their corresponding “+” signs in the Action column.

But after all those warmups I was still cold with not an iota of perceived perspiration and that may be why it took quite a while for the Garmin heartstrap on the chest to start showing a signal. That particular heart strap seems to need to be very wet and perhaps a bit salty wet. Plain water doesn’t seem to do the trick. When it did start showing a heart rate signal, it was way too low. So the heart rate graph from the other heart strap, a Scoshe heart strap on the arm, will be shown also. It seemed to be realistically accurate.

I don’t know if I’ll be doing any rowing tomorrow… it depends on how I feel after having a root canal done by my favorite dentist.

Regarding the lately very popular topic of atrial fibrillation: It continued all last night and this morning but stopped in the afternoon, a little while after the 16 minutes of cold sunbathing.
