WOD - 091709

4 rounds for time of:
10 renegade rows (12# dbs)
30 sit-ups (abmat)
400m run

time: 20:01

Felt a lot better than I expected. I don't know if it has more to do with being on Paleo for 3 days, or the cooler weather, but I felt great, though my time isn't great. Splits were 4:21, 4:53, 5:27, and 5:20.

WOD - 090203

"Cindy"

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of the following:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

Total rounds completed: 8

Compare to 090604. Ugh, very bad. Push ups very weak (more so than I can remember) . Triceps were shaking after the second round, and had to break up into sets of 3 or 2 for remaining rounds. A real struggle. Generally felt weak.

C2 - 090901

More "get acquinted with the rower" workout progression (with some modifications), from C2.

4x4min (3min recovery). Aiming for 22-24spm @ 130Watts

1: 130W @ 23 spm (warm up)
2: 131W @ 23spm
3: 130W @ 22spm
4: 132W @ 22 spm

total distance: 3456m

This felt harder and more anaerobic. May need to decrease damper setting (currently at 5).

C2 - 090831

First workout on the C2. Following their "get acquinted with the rower" workout progression (with some modifications).

4x4min (3min recovery). Aiming for 20-22spm @ 130Watts

1: 85W @ 20 spm (warm up)
2: 131W @ 20spm
3: 129W @ 22spm
4: 141W @ 21 spm

total distance: 3420m

Found it a little challenging to pull 130W at only 20-22spm. Still, good intro to the rower.
