Steady Pace While Haywire

Haywire but no heart in this picture.

Today’s main workout was 10,000 meters rowing at a steady pace averaging 2:33.5/500 meters. Heart rate was haywire during the session. The heart rate reading from the Garmin heart strap worn on the chest was erratic, not always displayed at all and was too low when it was being displayed. You can see its graph on the “RowPro Split and Stroke Charts,” below. The other heart strap gave a continuous reading which seemed to accurately display the much too high heart rate being experienced during today’s bout of atrial fibrillation. The other strap was a Scosche heart strap, worn on the arm. It’s graph is below also. It is the one that is red with a black background.

In addition to the rowing 10K there were six other sessions. They were shorter sessions on the SkiErg and rowing machine which served as warmup before the 10K. You can see the graphs and data for any of 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.
