Machine rowed Saturday but didn't report it here.
Repeat today, and also a repeat of Garmin ineptitude from a few days back (this time I forgot to hit start after setting up the workout ). But at least I got it in before this afternoon's osteopathic manipulation appointment.
Both times, my usual 3x2k with 2' row out/in between, 3' CD at end. 2:31.9 pace/19spm on Saturday (mostly Z3, no Z4), 2:29.5/20spm today (a little Z4, even though I don't have full stats; still would've been mostly Z3, I think).

Climbing, 2.75 hours. Fun session; I was in good form. I went through a recent phase of not really getting any v4s at this gym; I now get a few and most of the v3s. That said, there is a V2 which requires either being tall or being flexible which I didn't get. (You need to plop your right foot somewhere near your head, which was beyond me.)2

It was ridiculously hot here, new record high, over 70F (21C). (Previous record: 64F - 18C - in 1867.) Tomorrow's forecast, high 43F (6C), low 20F (-7C), snow showers possible: That's Michigan in the shoulder seasons.
So today I did my first outdoor bike ride of the season. It started as transportation to the vote-o-rama, but I decided to explore the trail extension to the Southeast-ish, recently added. I was surprised: Since my last ride there, it's been extended by about 2 miles, a nice wide, smooth asphalt-paved trail. (It's a big chunk of the planned link to the county seat, a really nice little town.) Then I turned around, mostly retraced the same route home, total just under 16 miles; nice easy pace, just over 10mph moving average on the hybrid bike, about half Z2, most of the rest split between Z1/Z3.

In general, I don't like surprises. Sometimes though, like this, they are welcome and... surprising.0 -
Swimming, 1.6 km. (I have been going before work, this time I went after which gave me longer to get more distance in.)2

Bypassed the weekly hump day 10k. I could likely have knocked it out, but goal for this week was 45 min 🏃🏾s. Every day I’ve added .5 mph increase from M-W. Tomorrow I take it down by .5 for the remainder of the week sticking to the 45 minute 🏃🏾s. I missed the 4th mile by a few seconds of having all 5 miles today under 9 minutes. Good enough… Happy hump day to all.2 -

Still dragging, not working out every day (argh!), but decided to do a longer but very mild stationary bike ride today. I set up for an hour, plus 3' cool down. I tried to stay under 140bpm HR (about 78% HRmax) . . . and almost succeeded (hit the 140 a few times, but not over) 101W average for the hour.1

I work out at orangetheory2

Repeat, sort of. Another 1 hour stationary bike plus 3 minute cool-down, but I was really dragging so decided to shoot for a Z2 workout. Succeeded, but even so the last 10 minutes of the hour seemed to take as long as the first 30 (ugh). (85W average, 96% Z2.)1
