Row’d Royalty Workout 18.3

Row’d Royalty Workout 18.3

18.3 is a two-part workout scored individually with equal weighting:
  • 18.3A – Row 2000 meters for time.
  • 18.3B – 21,097 meters for time (TOTAL TIME ON THE MONITOR)
When they announced this one I was actually pretty surprised.  Its longer than what most crossfitters are used to.  Good think we do beat-down Saturdays.  Which are long ass workouts.

Jarrod suggested pretty hard on the 2k as you have a lot of time to recover.  I wanted to go out hard but didn't want to red line.  So approx 2 seconds off 2-3 seconds off my 2k time.   After that the plan was to settle in.  I had done 2:06 n Marathon Monday so that was a good target.   I was under that by 3 seconds but was concerned about hitting the wall.  I gave myself little challenges and rewards.  Get to 45 minutes and you can have a drink.   Hit an hour and you can towel off your face.   This was good for me psychologically but was suprised on how much the average speed fell off.  Its in the books and wont have to do that until April.

Retest of Row'd Royalty 18.1 & then FMOPEN Wk 8

 Woke up this morning sore and tired from this weeks cumulative workouts.   I was still determined to do a retest of Row'd Royaly after Fridays poor showing.  I knew it would take a long warm up to get in the right state to make it happen.  Did some longer rows and then a bunch of short sprints at different damper settings to find the right tension for this sprint.  I was very surprised at the beginning at the pace I was hitting on. Now if I could hold it I could make this effort count.    I completely fell apart at about 115 meters.  I could not pick up the pace no matter what I tried.   More legs, more back, more arms, breathe easier tried them all and the pace kept getting slower and slower. When the final meters ticked off I was over 1:25.9 but I was still 1.5 seconds faster than Friday and faster than my effort at Game of Rowers.

Happy with it.

After laying on the floor for 10 minutes I got up and started FM Open Week 8 Workout.

Set the monitor to single distance 8888m and alter the split length to 1111m. Then alternate the stroke rate as follows 18/22/18/24/18/26/18/28. Row the rate 18 each time at 2km plus 20s/500m and increase the pace by 4s for the R22 and a further 2s with each subsequent rate increase.

Totally screwed up and misread the pacing requirements.

Row'd Royalty - 18.2 Dark Horse 500 and FMOPEN Week 7

This was going to be a tough day as it will be 3 interval days in a row and 3 nights in a row with 5 hours of sleep or less.  Was hoping to repeat what I did at Game of Rowers.   That thought went out the window when I was falling apart at the 250m mark. 

RR 18.2 Dark Horse 500Dark Horse 500" is a 500-meter row with a 100-meter rolling start.
Your time for the 100m interval is NOT scored.


Score: 500m Time
























Clearly well off the pace from Game of Rowers. Will need to take another shot at it on Sunday

FMOPEN WEEK 7 
 I selected the 1 min option. Hard for sure.

Row’d Royalty Workout 18.1

I wasn't sure how I was going to get this one in as I was in Montreal on a college visit with Jack.   Sunday most crossfit gyms are closed and most dont allow you to do your own thing in the middle of the class.  I went on the web and looked at regular gyms found one that had a photo of an erg and then found out they have a one day pass.  Not feeling great from  restless sleep that had me overheating and dehydrated and then frozen from the walk over as it was -6 without windchill.


Row’d Royalty Workout 18.1


Total Rowing Time without the Rests
  • 1000m Row, 2:00 Minute Rest
  • 750m Row, 1:00 Minute Rest
  • 500m Row, 0:30 Second Rest
  • 250m Row
I knew the time to beat had averaged 1:46.  I felt I could do that if I stayed as even as possible  It was  good enough for the situaton.

This was a fun one. Teamed up with Anthony and we went head to head with Steve and Jay.  It was close early but we were able to pull away.  Steve was shocked when we went to our second round. He thought it was for time versus AMRAP 30.

#FMOPENWK5

Snow day today so no class.   Needed to get my kettlebell work in as well as the FM Open week 5 wod.   Busy day so didnt get to the gym until 6:30,  AD3 joined me so that was a bonus.

FMOPENWK5 looked absolutely horrible on paper.   My goal was to use the 1st round to warm up and try to get faster as I went.   About 500M into the first 2000 I felt really good and smooth.   Decided to try to stick with my pace and then see if I could be consistent across the sets.
