Just wanted to point out that Tom made the morning classes do the WOD in teams of 2. In his words, this was “for extra fun”…
Noon class got the “extra fun” treatment too and boy was it fun!
We did them in teams of 2 as well!!
Don’t worry, Tom made EVERYONE do this in teams of 2!

I felt like crap during the warm-up, but luckily made it through this one. The burpee rounds were the worst! I managed to keep my pace under 2:15/500 (okay, once it was at 2:16), and pushed it the last round with keeping it around 2:05. This is an improvement for me, because my previous target in metcons was just to keep the row under 2:30/500.

I’d like to echo Dray’s comment from a couple weeks ago that I think it would be great to have a skill session on rowing sometime. I know I could use some reminders! I thought of this today with the transition from the rows….the technique Coach Chris taught me during a rowing skill session back at Kalorama has saved me on those transitions ever since! (loosen the straps, kick your foot forward, then tilt so your heel is up and pull your foot out – SO MUCH faster!)
This was a great first workout back after a week of travel. I’ve actually been wanting a rowing workout because I haven’t been running as much as I used to.
