Main WOD. Row well and live! Compare your time to 1.22.2014. Here’s some helpful pointers from our resident SME:
- Good form can be sustained longer than bad form.
- Good form starts with leg drive (knees down), open the hips (extend back to 11 o'clock position), and then arm pull (handle lightly touches chest ensuring chain remains parallel).
- Stroke rate will either kill you or save you. Keep it around 26-28 for longer pieces.
- Damper setting DOES NOT mean more/less meters per pull. It merely changes the FEEL of the pull to best accommodate your stroke. Try between 3-6 and see how it FEELS.
- Long powerful stokes are better than fast short stokes. You will see the difference in your Pace (m/500).
- Keep in mind that in a 5k row, a 2:00min pace = 20min, 1:50min pace = 18:20min, 1:40min pace = 16:40min.
