Today is one of those days that's going to show me who really wants to be here:

Row 45 minutes - post distances
*pace should be 30-40 seconds off max 500m*
*i.e. if max is 1:30, keep a 2:00-2:10 pace for 45 minutes*

  1. 10,150 meters (paced around 2:10-2:15) (Switched out rest day and did 45 min row on Wednesday).

  3. Top Work at the 5am slot!
    Hit 10480, pacing between 2.05 and 2.12 for most of it which is under the pace recommended so happy was able to keep that up! Strokes were at 28-31 per minute.
    Before Crossfit I wouldn't have dreamed or managed doing a row for more than 10 minutes!

  4. 10806 m, tried to stick around 2:05 pace

  5. 11013. 2:02.5/500.

    Physical game for the first 5000 or so. Pretty much mental for the rest. Couldn't figure a way to row and drink so the bottle of Gatorade went down at the end.

  6. *rowing is definitely one of my bigger weaknesses*
    Hit 9920m.
    Took me around 15-20m to keep at the 2:05-2:15 rhythm. Kept swaying up to 2:15-2:25 pace before then. Managed to stay under 2:15 for the last 5 minutes of the row.
    Definitely need to work more on keeping a consistent pace.

  8. 9,450m for me. Good test, and I definitely should have pushed myself harder. Hopefully next week I won't be doing it alone so I stay motivated! Lingered around a 2:30 pace which is 50sec over my 500m PR time.....definitely going to improve next time :)

  11. 45min: 8746 meters, 2:34 pace.

    This was my first time rowing for this long. I was anxious about conserving energy for the end. I definitely could have gone harder.

  12. 10,125
    Avg pace 2:13/2:14

    Did the first 15 min at sub 2:05, NOT a good idea-died

  13. 9,087 meters. Kept average pace of 2:28, which is right about 30-34 seconds above my PR.

  14. First time doing this I hit 14,504m kept a 2:04.1 pace entire time. Surprisingly not winded or tired, legs and ass cramped. Excited to do this weekly - gold standard for men is 15,400

  15. Awesome work everyone - don't worry next week you row but harder and for less time :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. 10,000m because I am a very shitty rower with no sense of maintaining a rhythm. 2:15 pace.

  17. Chris for the score you wrote a few comments ago you mean for an hour rowing not 45 min? I rowed a 2:00 min pace for 11248 meters

  18. 9561. Thoughts:
    - Like others, my back cramped within the first 1.5k - that wasn't fun. Not sure if I'm rowing wrong?
    - Was bored and nobody wanted to chat with me, whomp whomp.
    - I liked rowing in a circle and seeing Melissa, Stephen, Monica, Craig, and Stevens pretty faces. One Team, One Dream. Whoop!

  19. 11203. Tried to keep it under a 2.00 pace. Ended up at 2.00:05. Lower back burn (cramp) was biggest obstacle.

  20. 10,414.
    Did better than i expected. Only felt pain lower back and butt... Felt really weird walking around after that...

  21. 9,393, avg pace 2:23
    -Considering rowing is a big weakness of mine I am satisfied with how I did and am looking forward to getting better on this damn machine
    -Back cramped up as well, need to focus on better posture next time

  22. 9365m; 2:24 avg pace - 38 sec off my max. This was my first time rowing this long and I wasn't sure how to pace it over the whole 45 min. I definitely could have gone harder overall. Fortunately my back didn't cramp up, but the spot at the top of my legs did... maybe I'm not rowing correctly.
