Testing out the Renegade Rowing League at CFB!
Rowing WOD 11/17:
Renegade Rowing League
2k Row CRASH-B Style
*If you’re in the Boston area come to CrossFit Boston at 8am and compete head to head CRASH-B Style. Winner’s get the pride of knowing they can drop the hammer on game day as well as a sculling lesson on the water with Coach Pat.
**If you’re not in Boston then grab your friends, hook as many ergs together as you can using the Race Venue Software from Concept2, and then race each other for 2,000 meters. Put something up for grabs, like a shirt, for the winner!
Today’s Rowing WOD is a 2k Row. It’s a test of how much pain and glory you can endure over seven to eight minutes. Grab some friends and get after it. This will be the first of a monthly series of 2k competitions called the Renegade Rowing League. Once a month Renegade Rowing will hook up all of the ergs at CrossFit Boston and host a 2,000m indoor race. Anyone is welcome to come test themselves to see how they stack up. Each month their will be a different prize. This month it is a sculling lesson on the water with Coach Pat, an opportunity to take your indoor rowing skills outdoors to the Charles River.
If you have access to more than one erg and can get a group of friends together to compete you can join in on the Renegade Rowing League as well. Take a picture of everyone racing and then email it and the results to pat@renegaderowing.com. I’ll post the picture and results of your race and include everyone that competed in the Renegade Rowing League. All those that compete in the Renegade Rowing League have a shot at the prize for the month if they win their race category. The Renegade Rowing League will use the same event categories as CRASH-Bs.
No matter what! Post your 2k results to comments!

Woohoo! 7:22 2k. 18 second PR. Going into with a gameplan really makes all the difference. Stayed with mine almost perfectly. Wanted 1:45 first split, 1:55 next two splits and 1:45 last. Got 1:47 on my last split. Have I said thank you before??? Well, thank you again. Loving it!!!
7:10 with 1:47.5 splits (avg.) Overall energu budgeting was OK, as I didn’t fly and die over the first 1000m. Did however crap out on the last 80m, as the instantaneous split time started to climb dramatically. Thanks to Zach and Andrew M for the push..
Nice Work Thor! You’ll be ready for that last 80m next time!
Hit 7:51 overall with a 1:57 average split…..my goal was to hit sub 8. I need to work on so many things especially how to finish stronger & in good form. Great class.
Solid Dave! We’ll work on that finish. Nice start!
8:27, a 7 ish second PR. Great to have everyone around me pushing me to go faster. I think, as Tim Taylor would say, I just need MORE POWER.
