Pretend To Row In The Desert

pretend-boats-in-the-desert
This is an interesting way to have a boat race in the desert.

Today’s session was supposed to be a steady distance/recovery session of from 8K to 15K or more.  So I chose to do a half marathon, with the thought in mind that it would compensate for not rowing at all tomorrow on the Pete Plan rest day.  (One of my goals this season is to raise daily average meters to 10K or more).

The distance session was supposed to be done at a rating of from 22 to 25.  The resulting average was in the ball park at 24.

For occupying the mind, I alternated between focusing on strokes per minute and watching news on TV.

I remembered to choose a split value that divides into the total distance of the session and results in a whole number quotient, so the results for the last split are not glitchy as they would be otherwise with RowPro 5 for the Mac beta version

Don’t know what caused the three spikes to zero in the heart rate graph. Everything seemed normal while rowing this session.

Happy trails to you.
