I did one of the recent C2 workouts of the day today. It was an interval training pyramid. It was great and fun and I held up pretty well. It consisted of alternating hard and easy strokes for 10-20-30-40-50-40-30-20-10 strokes. I rowed at moderate intensity for about 4 minutes before and for 2 more minutes after. Although it is taxing, I really like doing interval routines. My row was over in 20 minutes. I am gonna repeat this one some more over the next couple of months.

Ron M - 4,200 Back after a break -- hope the back wasn't bugging you!

I'm good, thanks, After the Fall challenge I've been on other activities and using the rower to warm up and cool down. The distances have been pretty low so I never bothered to log them. This 4+ km was enough of a distance that I figured it was worth logging. I'm going to come back to rowing as my main activity for the Holiday Challenge.
