Metcon day

I decided to row today, mostly because the calve is still tight and sore. I decided to see how far I could row in twenty minutes, alternating 250m sprints with 250m slower recovery periods. I started with a 500m warmup, then moved right into the first 250m sprint. I had the damper setting on 1 for the first ten minutes, and moved it up to ten for the last 10 minutes. I hit 4,560m at the twenty minute mark. That seems a bit slower than my best 5k row time, but I usually have the damper set at a 10 for the entire 5k, so it's hard to compare.

Good workout anyway. I'm glad I didn't let the calve pain turn into an excuse.
