240.6
Today's plan: a 1.25 hour spin (if I can get a bike, I'm not signed up); then 40 minutes on the treadmill (my treadmill boredom threshold); then 25 minutes on the rowing machine. I will report back with the numbers and results.
Today's delivery: not exactly plan but a strong workout, and I salvaged a pretty solid week that was particularly challenging given the business travel demands.
Spin: I recorded the middle (i.e. no warm-up and no cooldown) and tracked 45:10 with HR ave. = 102; Max =117. A good solid recovery workout after yesterday's endurance ride.
Run: 8K in 43:59; HR ave = 115; Max = 136. This was interesting. I warmed thoruoghly and and gradually, then added .1 MPH (the treadmill measure) every 2 minutes until I got to 7.3. I then dropped .1 every 2 minutes but my HR did not drop. I am really unfit.
Row: First, the ergometer at the Bay Club sucks. I'm going to do all my future significant rowing at the Fitness Cenetr (work). I struggled through 3K in 13:08 before calling it a day. HR Ave = 113; Max = 127.
For the week:
3 Hours of spinning; 33K running; 8K rowing. I'm fairly pleased.

Keep at it Pete. Perseverence pays off in the long run.
Keep in mind, too, that for some of us, just one part of your three-part workout (say, an 8K run) would be a challenge that might cause us to rest the whole next day. I'd bet your long run of past fitness and good habits will cause a relatively quick improvement over the next two or three weeks.
I also note your weight, which dismayed you when it went back up over 240 is now back down.
