Rowing Machine warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Very light warmup. Damper on 6.
Rowing Machine 1:00:00 [4] 15.13 km (3:58 / km)
As the days are growing short, so to speak, I realized that the window for me to accomplish my rowing goal for the winter (and for the foreseeable future) is rapidly closing. So, I decided today I would do it.
Put the damper on 6 and just started. The goal was to pull <1:57 as long as possible, and then coast at 2:00 for a while. If things got bad, I'd have money in the bank.
Spms were 25ish to start, and then gradually crept up.
It turns out that this goal was reasonable. Of course, my hands sucked. They went from mild callouses to blisters, to no blisters, to a bit bloody. I preemptively taped the fingers, so they weren't a problem. It was the part right below the fingers on the palm.
Anyway, the legs/lungs were OK. True, I felt very languid, but my endurance is quite decent. For the most part, things were right there between 1:57 and 2:00. But, the hands, where the rubber meets the road, did not help the cause.
15,134 meters.
If I were doing some rowing training (pieces) and some weight training, I would expect to add 500 meters to this. But, that is not to be.
