2010 Indoor Rowing Champions
A few of the trainers at the studio that I train out of entered an indoor rowing championship this past weekend and we won for the second straight year! The corporate challenge consisted of 8 people per team - 6 men and 2 women and was the combined team average for the 500 meter row.
I'm not going to lie... this was BY FAR one of the hardest things that I have done in a really long time! I was totally exhausted at the end and I can't believe how trashed my body felt after only a minute and a half of full out exertion! My quads were so tight and sore after I finished from all the lactic acid and my head was pounding which I presume was from oxygen deprivation to my brain! And even though I completely bonked during the row and totally ran out of gas with more than a hundred meters to go, I still managed to do it in 1 min 29 sec! Not bad for only a week of preparation.. I think I'm going to actually work on my technique a bit this year and shoot for 1:26 next year!
