Today’s main workout was 10,000 meters rowing at a steady pace averaging 2:33.3/500 meters.
In addition to the rowing 10K there were three other sessions. They were shorter, on both SkiErg and rowing machine, and they served as warmup before the 10K. You can see the graphs and data for those by visiting this link to my online logbook, looking for log entries that were made on today’s date and clicking their corresponding “+” signs in the Action column.
Today I tried to solve the problem of lack of good connection between dry Garmin heart strap and dry chest. Salty moisture like sweat is what the Garmin strap seems to need to get a good signal. Plain water doesn’t work well.
As a substitute for perspiration I added a few drops of water to a teaspoon of salt, mixed it together and applied it under the Garmin heart strap’s electrodes. It worked well and the signal from was good from start to finish.
Coincidentally, the heart worked well also in that it had none of that fluttery atrial fibrillation which tends to mess up the heart rate graph.
Happy rowing to you!
