Overall, a good session. I did not respect the HR cap and I paid for it in the last rate ladder. The wind was building up a bit and there was a head wind. I set out trying to hit the same ~2:27ish pace at r18 as the other pieces, but I couldn’t manage it. I stopped to gather my thoughts for a few seconds and started up again at a more moderate pace.
In future, I think I need to row to a much more strict HR cap or the point of the workout is lost.
