Decided to do the 2000m row time trial from Thursday night's workout at noon, since I didn't go in the morning after last night's partner WOD with Clarisse, I was fairly fresh, and wanted to beat Maks, who around 8:30.
Wow, what a load of suck. In terms of how if felt, not in terms of my performance, which I am completely satisfied with.
Went out hard, like 1:40/500m hard. Which banked me a bit of time as I ran out of steam, I levelled off at just under 2:00/500m as I approached the 1000m mark my pace was slipping to the 2:05-2:10 (hitting 2:13 at one point), so I tried to dig deeper and bring it down below 2:00.
At around 1500m I got a second wind, and brought the pace down to the 1:50 range and held between 1:50 and 2:00 for the last 500m.
Finished in 7:51.7. Automatic PR. Completely satisfied with that. But man, it took a lot out of me.
Took for ever to recover and work on my power snatch and snatch balance.
In fact I bailed earlier than planned since I wiped, my form wasn't pretty enough and I was working too hard for what little weight I was moving around.
Still happy with the workout.
