Dudes, decided to do a 2K row today and went for a PR (previous was 7:15) on sheer will power, cos I definitely am not feeling 100%.
Got it done, 7:10, man I want sub 7, but it seems like a death wish away. I wanted to quit mid way. I am still totally shaking, dizzy, and just feel whacked. Rowing hard crushes you, man what a challenge it is!!!
Chris is coming out here in a few weeks and will get his first taste!
Nice fuckin work Fletcher Im gonna try tomorrow, such inspiration, you da man
ReplyDeleteYou fucking crushed that bitch Fletcher!
ReplyDeleteDid you guys see the article on the main crossfit site about how to row faster? I just saw it last night when I logged on, but haven't checked it out yet.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good one too, more specific to the 2K. There is some good wisdom in here, intervals, pyramids, breathing. I do the two breaths per stroke way... and I try not to go too damn hard early. Next time though, I am going to intentionally go easier to start, maybe 1:45 pace the first 500M (I think I was like 1:41 this time), because man does it catch up to you.
Fletcher you rule, rowing however blows! I can't even look at my C2 without a little sphincter clinching and reflexive vomit shooting up in the back of my throat. I need a break form that Bea'hatch.
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the PR!
Thanks Jacob, it is you that rules though, 7:02? I'm an old man though dammit. I'll catch you someday. You motivate me, since rowing is like the only thing I seem very good at as far as being able to compete with a bad ass like you. I really want to go sub 7, but I thought I was going to die last night! It is amazing what a difference that 10 seconds makes. I want to start off at a 1:45 pace and then save energy for later instead of starting fast... I'll try that. I had the damper on 6 too, I am going to back it down to 4 1/2 and try it that way next time. Experimenting... until I get it!
