Deliberate Déjà Vu – Ethereal Rowing

Today’s EliteHRV Morning Readiness analysis said it was okay to do anything, so I didn’t have any excuse not to row.

Last night’s sleep was okay until just before 5 AM again, when I became wide awake after the second of 3 trips to the bathroom. I tried to just lay still and fall back to sleep but it didn’t work. So I went to another room and sat and did “HRV breathing” in “coherence” for about 20 minutes. At least there was no Afib like the night before. Felt relaxed enough after that to get a total of 7 hours 55 minutes of actual sleep.

Today’s main workout was the same distance as yesterday’s main session and it was done to the accompaniment of a pace boat that duplicated yesterday’s rowing. My goal was to stay about 10 meters ahead of yesterday’s rowing, throughout the distance. Near the finish, I picked up the pace a bit more to make sure that today’s session was a few calories more than yesterday’s. The estimated level of exertion for today’s main session was RPE Level 5.

A screen recording was made for those of you who’d like to row-along. It is available at this link: Indoor Rowing 545 Calories 01242019

In addition to the rowing session, I also used the SkiErg, to burn almost another 300 calories. There will be no screen shots relating to the SkiErg in this post.
