Row 21,097 Meters for Time
*1:24.24 (7:10 2k)
*I had a pretty rough time with this today. I found it really difficult to mentally prepare for this. This is one of those workouts that you have to be mentally ready for or else it will make you its bitch. My breathing was actually pretty good for this as well as my lower back. It was my ass that was killing me from about 30 minutes on. It locked up really good and just never released. I never stopped rowing and for the first 40 minutes, was around 1:54 -1:58. I took the 2k pretty conservatively (7:10) to make sure it didn't affect my overall time that much. With about 20 minutes to go, I just couldn't keep it below 2:04. This is one of those events that is really hard for me to re-create on my own outside of a competitive atmosphere. I try not to compare to the Games scores too much....much different in October than it would have been in July at the peak of training and sitting next to Froning. I will tell you one thing, I NEVER want to do this again. At 60m, I was at 15,350m which is about 200m ahead of my 60m distance from a few months ago. I most likely won't walk right again for a few days. Thanks for preparing for the kid coming on Friday....no matter what this kid does, it can't make me feel like you did today...well played Maximus.
