Hike w pack 25:00 [1] 1.25 mi (20:00 / mi) +5m 19:45 / mi
shoes: Ecco "Street" 2012
Walking south on Kenzie to the GC, after L train full of homeless sleepers at 5:30am, and the 63rd St bus.
Carry golf 1:20:00 [1] 4.41 mi (18:08 / mi) +10m 18:01 / mi
shoes: Ecco "Street" 2012
Marquette Park GC, Chicago. Again. After 6" of rain in the past 4 days, everything was very soggy. Played nine holes in the slop and quit. But a nice warm, sunny morning; birds singing, geese protecting their nests in the reeds. Teed off at 6:45am all by myself. No wonder; no carts allowed today!

NordicTrak 10:00 [3]
Erg rowing 30:00 [3] 6.1 km (4:55 / km)
Good pace...considerably faster than yesterday or even for the 5k on Thursday. Just shows the value of repeated workouts at our advanced age. Fitness lasts for such a short time, you gotta keep working every day, or you lose it. Six-minute pacing splits were amazing:
2:31.8
2:28.1
2:24.9
2:25.3
2:19.8.....overall: 2:25.9

NordicTrak 10:00 [3]
Erg rowing 29:51 [3] 6.0 km (4:59 / km)
First place in 70-79 again! I guess old guys are slow starters. Get my name on the boards all alone. I'm sure this slow time won't hold up; I'll be improving on it before long. Wasn't feeling tip-top this morning. Had a late night of dining and drinking with Peter, my Danish friend who owns a spectacular summer house in Skagen, DK, way out at the northern tip of the country. Not too warm, even in the summer. But a very picturesque retreat if you like Scandinavian seafood and seascapes.

NordicTrak 10:00 [3]
Erg rowing 25:12 [3] 5.0 km (5:02 / km)
Included in this May 1 workout is a 2k piece for time: 9:21.6 at a 2:20.4 pace. Had to shift gears from the long pieces I rowed at the end of last season. 14 seconds slower than last season for this distance. So hope I can improve on this classic competitive distance. But was first to post on the 2020 season site for 70-79. So at least for now, first place in world-wide competition!

NordicTrak 10:00 [3]
Erg rowing 49:43 [3] 10.0 km (4:58 / km)
Last day of the rowing season. Pushed seasonal distance over 550km today with a new seasonal PR for the 10k. Still way back in the pack of 70-79, but at 78 what do you expect? Still a minute slower than last season, so could have been better. 2k pacing splits showed a slow-down after 4k remained; was debating at that point if I wanted to quit or continue:
2:31.3
2:30.4
2:29.8
2:30.1
2:23.7......overall: 2:29.1
