Tougher Than An Atom

Today’s distance (in meters) was tougher than any atom, because atoms can be split but today’s distance could not be split because is was a prime number, 5,023.  You can try to split a prime number into factors other than itself and unity by dividing it with any and every integer less than the prime number and you will not be able to split it.  Primes are absolutely indivisible, unlike atoms, any of which can be split if they collide with another particle which has sufficient energy.

So today’s session was done in one non-split RowPro session.  It was not split, primarily* for the reason that RowPro 5 for the Mac has a bug which always shows itself if the total distance of a session cannot be divided into splits which are each and every one equal to each of the other split distances.

I don’t know why, but looking at some of the properties of the numbers chosen for the set distance of a rowing session adds a tiny but nonetheless helpful amount of motivation to do the rowing.

The session was recorded and can be viewed for the purpose of rowing-along with it, if desired, at this link:

Happy rowing to you.
