Sunny and Well-Warmed

This is a photo of the Arizona sun high in the blue sky. Don’t stare at it.

Today’s main workout was 10,000 meters rowing at a steady pace averaging 2:33.6/500 meters. It was preceded by a SkiErg warmup of 200 Calories and five short, gradually increasing rowing warmups. Only the 10K is shown here. Everything else can be examined via this link to my online logbook by looking for and finding log entries made on today’s date.

Since atrial fibrillation vanished yesterday after I spent 17 minutes sunbathing, I used the same approach today: Standing shirtless in direct sunlight for 16 minutes. That was split up into 8 minutes on the chest and 8 minutes on the back. Taking some sunshine was inspired by some of what I heard in a TED Talk by a doctor (MD type) who does research and controlled studies relating to sunlight and the human skin. I will try to “embed” that TED Talk video below this paragraph.

A lot of sunlight is bad but too little sunlight can be just as bad although in other ways. A little bit of sunlight is very good.

I’m happy to report that there was no atrial fibrillation today either during the rowing or afterwards.
