What do you do while Erging?
Besides the obvious ones of sweating and such, what do you do while erging?

I clicked other because it is all of the above except watch movies. I find it hard to follow dialog with the erg noise, so I turn on a sports game but mute the TV, put on the music ncie and loud, and row away. During commercials I move my eyes from the TV to the monitor to check on how I am doing, do some mental math, fix my form if it has slipped, etc.

I've been watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica on DVD, and I have found that headphones are a must! I need to get a nice lightweight set though, as the ones I do have are a bit on the clunky side.
I find that I can get almost 9000 meters in at a nice relaxed pace during an episode (sometimes during a great space battle scene I will do power 20s. . .). The season two discs are standing by, and then I will have to find something to fill the gap while I wait for season three (perhaps I'll watch my Firefly DVDs again)

I put other because I may watch television, listen to music, or just count strokes with my eyes closed and see how close I can get to Paul Smith's 10 meters per stroke over a distance. For music I recently got Sony's noise canceling headphones at Super Target for $49.95. This is about $200 cheaper then Bose, yet they work pretty well. They are relatively light also.

I focus most on the physiological processes involved, coordination, breathing, muscular actions.
Of those listed I focus most on the force curve and numbers on the monitor.
