Flame-Out Of Desire To Race

heart-on-fire

An alternative title for today might be Self Torture Is Always Optional. Today’s rowing was a clutter of disappointments.  But not really.  Let me explain why “not really”:

I started out the day to do another attempt at a better time for the 1K sprint.  But after a few hundred meters I realized I didn’t have the desire or incentive or something along those lines and so I put the handle down before the going got tough.

Waited about an hour and then thought I’d try it again, but had the same results.  I just didn’t want to push myself.  Lack of desire.  Or was it remembrance and avoidance of the experience of wheezing and gasping for breath, after yesterday’s 1K? Jesus knows.

Anyway – today’s motley collection of rowing pieces amounted to a little over 10K for the day and so I’m happy about that part, to have once again reached a daily quota of greater than or equal to 10K.

The training session was supposed to be a 6K Time Trial which is a 6K done at race pace.  But after two handle-downs on the 1Ks, I decided to opt out of torturing myself and took it easy on the 6K.

RowPro 5 for the Mac semi-crashed and wouldn’t produce a regular report so this is the best I can do for a report on the 6K
