Wednesday 28.8: rowing, hs hold

Wednesday. Pair wod with Toni. Rowing, handstand hold, push-ups, plank hold and v-ups.

We are on a work convention with Toni and were therefore planning of taking a rest day. Instead, we found ourselves hitting the conference venue's gym for a rowing pair wod, after which we utilized the spa and sauna.

Pair wod. For completion:
  • 4 rounds for both athletes of the following 2 sets, alternating turns on the row:
  • 500m row
  • ME handstand hold, then ME push-ups, plank hold or v-ups until 500m row is completed


So the point was that together we rowed for 4.000 meters. Switching turns after every 500m. Meanwhile the other one was rowing, the other one took max effort in time of handstand hold against wall. Once he dropped, he continued to perform either push-ups, plank hold or v-ups, depending on the round. This workout was not that serious, we only wanted to have some fun and get blood circulating in our system after a long work day. It definitely did good after sitting most of the day. Still, we kept a rather good and steady pace on the row, it took 14min to finish the 4k, that's 1.45/500m. On the handstand I was around 1min on the position in the first round, then somewhere around 30-45sec in the latter rounds.

Afterwards we got a treat in the form of sauna and finished the evening with a delicious dinner. The agenda says we have some sort of morning workout arranged by our employer. Guess it's not gonna be crosssfit :)
