Less than a Hill of Beans Difference

This morning I slept in and when time came to row, there were once again no suitable online sessions scheduled on the river. "The river" is what some users of RowPro and its online rowing server call the virtual place where everybody rows together.  As in saying, "See you on the river," after the end of a session, instead of saying "Goodbye," "Cheers," etc.

Today's hour session was supposed to be the first 10 minutes in Heart Rate zone 1, the next 30 in HRz 2 and the last 20 in HRz 1.  But when time counted down to 20 minutes remaining, I was simultaneously lost in thought with whatever part of the mind engages in daydreaming while the other part of mind was focusing on the screen to keep HR within zone 2.  So ...  zone 2 effort lasted 3 minutes longer than planned, which didn't make more than a couple calories difference and that's a lot less than a hill of beans.

See you on the river.
