For part of the time during today’s rowing, I felt like I was rowing as hard as the young fellow in the above photo appears to be working. That image was found somewhere on a British website called the Newham Recorder, in relation to a rowing event for charity which was done in 2014.
The rowing session today was an interval session arranged to fit the specification of the July 2017 challenge on the c2ctc.com website.
The specifications were: ”
Row the following intervals pyramid (with 1 min rest for each 250m rowed):
Row 250 metres, rest for 1 minute
Row 500m, rest for 2 minutes
Row 750m, 3 minutes rest
Row 1000m, rest 4 mins
Row 750m, 3 minutes rest
Row 500m, rest for 2 minutes
Row 250m and finish
Standing start for the opening 250m. Other six can be rolling starts.
There are no other restrictions.
Record your total time for 4000 metres of rowing. ”
It was fun. I made the final rest after the final 250 meters a longer one, so it served as a warm down.
Happy challenging rowing to you.
