Though it has nothing to do with indoor rowing, today’s main workout was done as the sun was setting on the Catalina Mountains. The session was 10K rowing done at steady pace averaging 2:33.7/500 meters. There were also 7 shorter sessions done before today’s 10K. Their graphs and data can all be viewed at this online logbook link by looking for the entries with today’s date.
I had been having atrial fibrillation continuously for the past five days but it cleared up and heart rate returned to normal today after about 40 minutes of warmup on both SkiErg and rowing machine. There has been no atrial fibrillation since the 10,000 meter rowing session was done today.
Today was warm and brightly sunny. Before doing any of the workouts, I spent 17 minutes outdoors, shirtless, with maximum exposure to direct sunlight on front and back. A limited amount of sunlight is supposed to be beneficial to the heart. Perhaps that’s what made the difference and helped the AF to go away?
Happy rowing to you.
