Do you sub meter for meter running/rowing?

I haven't figured out how to read the distance on my rower! I think it's a sub-menu...

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

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.

Test is Dec 9th, but I'm not ready. Too much stuff interfering with my training still. Yeah I know, excuses, but the kids still come first.

Almost Finished Resting

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!

" Fight Gone Bad! " Three rounds of: Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps) Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps) Box Jump, 20" box (Reps) Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps) Row (Calories) In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point. Score 196.7PR! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! Wanted 200. Must push harder! The box jumps felt better than ever as did the push presses.

Head cold has me blowin phlegm throughout. I will break 10 next time! I also did all rounds of 5 pullups unbroken. My kip is starting to improve.
