sobriqueI am rather chuffed. Have just managed to row 10km in 40 minutes. That's like, a long standing target.
10,005m in fact, at resistance 10 (drag factor 190).
The rower reckoned that was a workload of 200W, or 1000kcal/hour.
My heart rate monitor thought it was nearer 1200kcal/hour.
But whatever. That might be meaningless to you, but suffice to say I'm rather pleased at managing that. And this is, in fact, a bragging post. And for posterity.
And stuff.
Now, I have it on good advice from someone who knows better, that I need to go work on technique and pacing, rather than rowing flat out like a loony. Which is what I shall - the only reason I haven't yet, is because that rather arbitrary 10km beckoned.
