Tranquility Base After A Race

aq-sept-18-after-sunrise
As part of race recovery, I slept in until after the sun rose today.

After you participate in a race, you don’t need to travel to the moon to find a tranquility base.  The aftermath of a race is a feeling and experience unique to each individual and in a sort of inverse ratio to how close that person managed to approach to his or her limits.

My feelings after yesterday’s race were of a satisfyingly ethereal quality, even though I did not push up to whatever my limits are.

For today’s rowing, I scheduled a 30 minute “paddle” session.  Three other rowers joined.  One rowed at about 2:01/500m right up until the finish, when his RowPro either disconnected or crashed.  The other two rowed at about 1:59/500m and gave each other incentive to keep up that pace.  I relaxed in Tranquility Base with a pace of about 2:25/500m.

There is no screenshot of today’s rowing, but there is a session report:

Happy trails to you.
