Tired Horse

ocotillo-and-tired-horse

Today’s rowing was an online 30 minute session that included 8×90 seconds R1 minute intervals.  One other rower joined the session.

If it hadn’t been for that other rower, I probably would have skipped the intervals, found a video to watch and rowed very slowly through all 30 minutes, because I felt like a tired horse.

But because there was someone else in the session, I did what the session description called for, applied spurs to the tired horse, and rowed at a pace of about 1:50/500m for each of the 8 intervals of 90 seconds each.  For the minute of rest between each interval, I slowed almost to a crawl at a pace of something a bit slower than 3:00/500m.

So the “training plan” is going to be modified and tomorrow begins a few days or a week or more of rest, before rowing fast or trying to do another 2K at any kind of speed.

Here’s the results for today’s rowing:
