I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but I think it should always be fun. If it's feeling too much like work you can try mixing it up a bit. If you usually row really fast, you could try slowing it down and watching your favourite tv show while you row. Or if it's the opposite, you could try doing a couple sprints. You can try varying the lengths too, if you usually do one long workout, you could switch to a few shorter ones, or vice versa. For me, I get kind of discouraged doing anything over 5K, so when I do I like to break it down into little sections mentally, so if I'm doing 10K, to really, "in my head" do 5 little sections of 2K. Another thing you might like trying are intervals. Most of my exceptionally long workouts were done that way, they are kind of nice too because you get bonus "rest" metres (where the wheel is still spinning but you aren't really rowing anymore). Then I just do a short little workout at the end to round off my metres because I'm like that.
Through day 6/7 depending upon where you row.....wowzer! The team is putting on quite the meter show! It's just the beginning of the challenge "season", so pace yourself! We want you on the team for the entire challenge! For the entire season!
