Faster But Easier

Today’s daily rowing session was the same distance as yesterday’s, 11,490 meters. It was a bit faster than yesterday’s session but it felt easier and was definitely more fun than yesterday’s. The average pace for yesterday’s was 2:35.7/500 meters and the average pace for today’s was 2:26.9/500 m. That amounted to a calorie burn difference of 20,000 calories more today than yesterday.*

Though there hasn’t been a blog post made since June 14th, there have been workout sessions every day from then until today. Any of the workouts can be seen via this: link to the online logbook.

Happy rowing to you!

* The 20,000 calorie difference between today’s and yesterday’s sessions is actual calories. For those of you who are acquainted only with the analysis listed on the backs of food packages, those energy values are kilo-calories or “food Calories”. The difference in energy expended in today’s rowing session compared to yesterday’s was 20 kilo-calories or 20 food Calories. But I like the sound of 20,000 calories better because though it is the same amount of energy it sounds like a lot more.
