Yesterday in the late afternoon it started to cool down, even some raindrops fell.
Over night we had a hearty welcome temperature drop. =D>
Today AM I took the chance
for doing one piece row of 90'.
Temperature/humidity at beginning was 22.7°C
(72.9°F) / 65.3% and at the end 24.0°C
(75.2°F) / 76.4%, that felt significantly better, than the
shit heat the days before.
As it's still very warm, I sweat a lot, therefore I have to drink enough – this was one objective. I set up the splits to 15' and after every split I stopped for about 30" to intake some fluid
(overall: 1.5L water with 5gr of salt, 20gr of malto and 100ml grape juice). The bad was, that my overall wattage dropped with every 30" break by about 10-20W.
But another objective was ≥200W. So… I rowed each split with a negative split attitude towards my upper limit for long distance - at the end of every split I was back to my objective wattage.
I also kept an eye on my HR
(respektive % of HRR). After 90' I was tired – of course it's dull – but still had lot of power respective no issues to upkeep with ±232-236W. As my overall workout HR was at 80%HRR, I think I've paced it quite well.
Happy with this workout.
(Sidenote: I had the impression that I was posting here too much, so I reduced it. So, other Free Spirits have the chance to post here too. )
