With both of the Renegade Rowing League 2k’s in the bag and CRASH-B’s upon us, this is a great opportunity to focus on a few tactical aspects of the 2k and finalize our race plan for the big day. 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.
As a quick review for novice rowers, race pace over 2,000m will be at a stroke rating of 28 − 32 strokes per minute and a consistent 500m split. The lower the split the better. Good things to focus on include breathing, getting the knees down, driving through the heels, quick hands, and being smooth. I also like to coach a smile or grin 10 just to take yourself out of your body for a second, have some fun, and then refocus with a fresh mindset. Focus on one positive thought for 10 consecutive strokes and you’ll be that much closer to your goal.
If you choose to do the conditioning and strength today be sure to work in plenty of mobility, especially for those pistols. Try Barbell Smashing the quads and calves to get through that pistol easier.
Have fun and get after it!

Back on it this week. Did “13.1” yesterday, checkout tomorrow’s blog for a pic and my results.
Today I warmed into the 500m pieces since I haven’t been rowing much over the last week, but then I hit the Deadlifts from yesterday hard. Overall solid day.
RWOD: 2:10, 2:05, 2:00, 1:55, 1:50, 1:47, 1:47, 1:35

Get after it!

My sentiments stay the same – the 2K needs two minute breaks.
Did regular box WOD yesterday – felt really good to get back into the saddle today.
Solid Ward! Great Execution. Wouldn’t that be nice!

This one was a mental challenge! Stuck with it, and tapped it along.
Awesome work Nick! Way to get it done! Gametime!
