I hope everyone enjoys Easter Sunday and can spend some time with family and friends.  Share if you do anything fun including family mobility or active recovery.  Perhaps challenging your family to an Erg Relay?

All the Best!

Rowing WOD 3/30/13:

Get After It!

Get After It!

2k Row

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 is our first test of the Spring season and will give us a baseline to work off of and use in pacing future workouts. Be in the moment, execute your splits, smile, have some fun, breath, and get after it!

Post your 2k results to comments!

  • Execute each part of 2k Race Plan
  • Figure out how to game the round of 12 Clean and Jerks/ 12 Toes to Bar

250m Row, 10 Cleans (135/95 lbs.)

Stick that landing with elbows up!

13.4 is upon us!  It’s no 2k Row, but it’ll do.  That 7min time frame is similar to a 2k and you can be sure the lungs will be burning afterwards just like a 2k.  No matter what we will be testing our 2k tomorrow!

Wouldn't it be cool to have a space to lift and erg in your boathouse?

Today’s Rowing WOD is an opportunity to dial in each part of your 2k race plan.  No need to go all out on the rowing physically, but mentally you must execute the thoughts and splits you plan to hit for each section of the race.  Focus in, be smooth, and be efficient.

The Clean and Jerk as well as Toes to Bar are thrown in there to get ready for 13.4.  By the end of this WOD you should be plenty warm and in a similar state to when you will be hitting the round of 12.  Use today’s Rowing WOD as an opportunity to figure out your plan of attack for 13.4 as the rounds get longer.

Post your total time and splits for each 250m to comments.  Share how you plan to attack the 2k tomorrow as well as 13.4!
