Erg Displaces Horses

This jigsaw puzzle was completed (finally!) with the motivation that after it was completed and removed from the room, its space would be occupied with a Concept 2 ski erg. If you are wondering how big the puzzle is – its huge, compared to the average size jigsaw puzzle.

The above snapshot is of a finished jigsaw puzzle which occupied a table and took of a relatively large amount of space in the room where the Concept 2 rowing erg is located. It was an extremely challenging puzzle and so it sat, unfinished for quite a while… perhaps extending a long time into the future.

But I had been reading about doing other activities to cross train instead of only rowing and so I told my better half that I’d like to put a Concept 2 ski erg in the place where the jigsaw puzzle was located, whenever she eventually finished the puzzle.

That inspired her to attack the puzzle with analysis and a method involving sorting and even tracing a few outlines. She finished the puzzle, so hopefully we will soon occupy that table space with a ski erg.

No rowing today… and probably none for a few more days… But there was some sleeping done, as you can see in the chart below. I feel very rested… like perhaps I could easily row a season best time in a half marathon.

Almost 8 hours sleep last night. Heart rate was lowest in first half of the night, before an electric blanket was used. After the temperature was boosted with the electric blanket during the second half of the night, heart rate was a bit more elevated so I assume there is a cause and effect relationship.

Happy rowing to you.
