Things Got Irregular

Finish screen for today’s 10K rowing session. The circled area of the heart rate plot shows where heart rate shifted too high though effort remained the same or slower.

At the start of today’s sessions everything seemed normal. I decided to row 10K first and then burn some calories on the SkiErg.

For the first half of the 10K rowing session everything continued to seem normal, though heart rate disappeared from the RowPro display a few times.

I decided to take an aspirin break after about 4,000 meters of rowing. The break lasted between two and three minutes. Sometimes a little aspirin seems to help heart rate become regular again.

But this time it didn’t help and after I returned from the rowing break it became more irregular. Also, heart rate shifted to become too high.

I didn’t let a little Afib (atrial fibrillation) put too much of a damper on things though, because I wanted to earn another exercise-induced “sleeping pill” for tonight’s sleep.

The 10K was finished. It was followed by two SkiErg sessions of about 100 Calories each. After the SkiErg sessions, a very slow 500 meter rowing session was done.

Heart rate remained irregular and too high through all of the remaining workout. But it’s okay now. The exercise-induced “sleeping pill” was earned and it’s effect can already be felt, early in the evening. No need for Sleepytime tea.
