Today was a rest day from the strength-training/pushups program and so the only thing I did in the way of exercise was rowing. And trimming a little bit of a cactus.
The rowing today was 11K done with RowPro and in the accompaniment of a single pace boat. It was done offline, because RowPro pace boats can only be generated when you row offline. If you want a pace boat when you are rowing online, you have to rely on another person who is also online and who is in the same session with you.
The pace boat was set to a pace of 2:20/500m and a rating (strokes per minute) of 25. I tried to focus on the pace of 2:20 and let the rating be whatever it would be.
For anyone who is not acquainted with indoor rowing in the company of a pace boat, that’s one significance in the title of today’s post: reference to the fact that I was using a pace boat. The other significance, of course, was humor, which is one of the little angels usually present on one of my shoulders. I shouldn’t have to explain these things, but Diane has told me more than once that my humor is not obvious. So I guess Diane thinks humor should be obvious but in my opinion, humor is better when it is not obvious.
A couple times or more during the session, I went off on daydreams and got separated from the pace boat by a few meters before I noticed what was happening, but most of the time we were side by side within less than one meter difference.
Happy rowing alongside a pace boat to you.
