Finishing the day below 20 out of 30 pacepoints

Glad I paced so well during the day; otherwise this performance might have been too much.
Well within my daily limits and behind today's PaceSetter π

Visible Health display shows my pacepoints used so far today to be 0.0 out of 30.0. Resting HR 54bpm.
...I'm going to be performing late into this evening as a #TubaPlayer πΆ
I also need to fulfil my weekly Strength-Flexibility-Cardio appointment at the #NuffieldHealth Fitness Centre, as this plays a big part in making the rest of my days more manageable π

Orchestra rehearsal was really enjoyable last night #Sibelius #Finlandia π
I've played my #tuba for around 13 hours this week - Rehearsal with Devon Philharmonic Orchestra last weekend, then with Britannia Royal Naval College Volunteer Band; Torbay Symphony Orchestra last night.
#TubaPlayer
Today I have the pleasure of playing my #tuba with the wonderfully talented Benjamin Voce in #Exeter
He's here from Berlin.
We're rehearsing Mahler's 5th Symphony.

Sarah's Tweet: My drawing of Torbay Symphony Orchestra βοΈ They did a terrific performance of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' in Totnes this month. (They were tricky to draw, there were a LOT of muscians involved!)
Just her image
Just me on tuba
Thank you so much for doing this for Torbay Symphony Orchestra @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social π

Lowering of my heartrate DESPITE teaching and despite lunch duty outdoors and around school
That π 15-minute break at 11am was a real game-changer.
It brought everything down a notch; so much so that I'm now NINE #VisibleHealth pacepoints behind my daily Pacesetter π
Still feeling on top form: handy, as I have yet another rehearsal this evening πΊ
#TubaPlayer #Pacing for #LongCovid
Rested for all but 2 hours today.
Just 20 minutes of 'Moderate' movement and 100 minutes of 'Light' movement.
Self-imposed REST before what's going to be another incredibly busy week ahead, including rehearsals with 3 different musical groups and performances with 2.

Playing the #tuba in a wind band: more of a relaxing wind-down at the end of a long working day than you might expect!

Rehearsing last night, in a well-ventilated village hall, we produced wonderful music, and hyperventilating during some of the longer passages was invigorating!
Yes, I take a calculated risk of reinfection every time I rehearse with others, but the #TubaPlayer effect is very strong indeed π
Graphic showing 18.5 of my daily 28 pacepoints used so far today
...And I'm still at work, almost 10 hours into my teaching day - 2.4 #Visible_health PacePoints behind my daily pacesetter π
Looking good for Band rehearsal this evening, which is very good for my lungs, my mind, and for my nervous system π
#TubaPlayer
And tomorrow's my day off π
Heartrate graph and PacePoints per activity
Pacesetter for my daily PacePoints
It's a more leisurely job than secondary school teaching, that's for sure!
Just a handful of PacePoints so far today - It's almost 1pm and I'm 5.7 PacePoints behind my daily Pacesetter!

James hard at work getting the dents out of a tuba bell. When they say repairs take elbow grease THIS is what theyβre talking about!
#tuba #brass #brassinstrument #tubaplayer #instrumentrepair #repairtech #repairshop #therepairshop
Visible App - 14.7 PacePoints out of 27. 11 behind pacesetter.
3 hours later. 2.5 hours of which spent at orchestra rehearsal.
Only a fraction of a PacePoint used. ELEVEN Pacepoints in hand.
This #TubaPlayer lark is incredibly restful, you know π
