Rowing WOD 8/24:

8 x 500m w/ 2min Rest

1st/2nd – Like start of 2k

3rd/4th – Like 2nd 500 of 2k

5th/6th – Like 3rd 500 of 2k

7th/8th – Like finish of 2k

All week we’ve been focused on initiating with the legs and connecting our feet to our hands with a solid core.  To make it through a full 2k Race we must keep that focus and be turned on every stroke.  In a couple of weeks we’ll be retesting our 2k, so put the effort in now to hit the splits you want to see during your retest.

This is a great opportunity to focus on a few tactical aspects of the 2k and get in some solid race pace work.  Try to keep a consistent pace over all 8 or “negative split” toward the end if you’re feeling good.  Negative splitting means you pull a faster split than you did the last piece.

Post your fastest and slowest times!
