    Heat/humidity broke, so pleasanter this morning . . . on the same river, rowing the same double, for the same 7k (about). Never gets old.

    1 hour on Zwift. I did a much better job at really resting than usual though there were also two sprints involved. Even then, my avg power was less than half of my FTP which was my goal.

    Hoping that I get to row tomorrow but I still haven't heard word of whether or not development sculling practice is on.

    Weight lifting for Biceps, triceps, legs, stretching for 90 minutes. I pulled my back muscles a little picking up a 30 lb weight off the rack, I try to be really careful with my form even when I’m grabbing the weights because I can wrench my back just sneezing wrong, but I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing and I think I started to turn as I lifted. It’s not super sore, but I feel it when I turn. Cardio kickboxing is on tap for tomorrow, so I’ll have to be conservative with my punching and really watch my form. Usually if I go half time I’m fine. Ugh. Getting older stinks!

    Can I ask what Zwift is?

    Can I ask what Zwift is?

    Sure! In short, Zwift is computer program that allows people to ride their bike (or run) in various virtual worlds, most of which are modeled on sections of real cities. If you have almost any smart trainer, then it will also simulate the gradient and tell the program (with varying levels of accuracy) how much power you're putting out. If you don't have a smart trainer (or a power meter), Zwift tries to make assumptions on that power on the basis of your speed (as calculated by a speed sensor on your bike) and it won't simulate the gradient. These are all connected to your computer via Bluetooth or ANT+ and the power is also how the program calculates how "fast" you're going.

    Cycling Weekly has an article with an overview here and I wrote a somewhat lengthy post about it this morning which is here. You can also use it on your phone (iOS and Android) as well as Apple TV. They've also rolled out support for running but I know almost nothing about that. There should be at least a few good posts on DCRainmaker's website about it though.

    I walked my dog, but he was was not into a 4 mile hike. Took him home and restarted the hike without him. Rest day for my dog then. Old dogs are smart, but not me,

    You can also row to Zwift through using Painsled to connect with it but you are rowing as a biker character. They keep saying they are going to come up with a rowing version, which would make steady state days way more tolerable!

    Nearly 9km in a double this morning. I was stroke and it felt really good. I hadn't had a good sculling practice in a while so I'm especially happy about today.

    I sat stroke which was a big part of me feeling comfortable and the person in bow was really experienced.
