Ok, sounds like a fair sub. Although the Crossfit FAQ says:
[i]"3.2. How does running compare to rowing, biking, etc.?
To compare the different aerobic exercises, pick a comparable time interval. For example, if you run 400m in 90 seconds, then row or bike or jump rope or run stairs etc. for 90 seconds."[/i]
which of course requires you to know how fast you can run the distance :-)
I ran 400m in 1:30ish first try - on a track. Before my calf freaked out, I ran it in about 1:40 on the street where there is a slight incline and I have to stop and pivot on the return. I can get faster once my calf settles down. I am using 2:00 on the rower until I get better at it.
I regret that the monitor on my rower doesn't have a distance function! Oh well - still happy to have it.
How close are you to your tests? How's the training going? I am feeling much more progress with what I am doing than I did with simplefit. I feel I'll be ready for scaled CF WOD's when I finish the 12 week program. I'll test a simplefit workout - just to see how I do after training with this different set of movements.
15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!
AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.
AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!

When I do, I will. According to CF, 500m rowing = 400m running (I think)
