Row 2K

Finally did this this morning - I can't count distance on my ridiculous rower! So I rowed 150 strokes in about 8 minutes.

The gym on campus here has some better rowers. They're not C2s but are more expensive water rowers. They measure distance. I'll have to try one soon.

Hopefully I'll get the push jerks done tonite.

8mins 40 was my time over the weekend.

I was shocked when I read the times posted on crossfit.com

I actually think I'll be somewhat faster. My rationale: I swim 1000m in 22+ minutes. I stroke a bit slower on the rower. I am a long person. Each stoke on a rower (in the water) would probably send me at least 10m (really farther...).

I really need to try it.

So you reckon 150 strokes = 2k? Does your rower have adjustable resistance? How would that factor in?

It's a piece of crap. No adjustable resistance.

I'm just guessing. I really need to test it...

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!

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!
