It was 7:30 PM before I sat down on the erg. And I wasn’t really in the mood. But there was nothing to fear from this session. Just another low intensity L4 aerobic workout. I limited it to 60 minutes because it was so late and I knew I would be working out first thing in the morning as well.
I continued to push the stroke count up. I think I found the limit. Lactate at 60 minutes was 2.3mmol/l.

Getting close to the magical 200W level for steady state.
Quantified Rowing 
Nothing magical about 200W. It’s 147.5 foot pound-force per second. Or roughly 0.27 Horse Power (metric, imperial, hydraulic). 🙂

I think you underestimate the mystical power of numerology. Especially when you stare at the numbers long enough!
To be completely honest about this, the more magical number to me is ~203W. That puts the pace below 2:00.0. I’d like to be able to do all my rowing with a leading “1”.

Perhaps you should then base your pace on a 500 yard distance.

Brilliant. All I need to do is figure how to hack the PM to show time per 500 yards and I’ll feel much faster!
