Forgot to check average watts. Would have been nice to be able to compare to the sprint rows from last month. Anyone know how to calculate average watts from distance in metres over 30sec?

Row 30 sec
Rest 2:30
repeat 7 times

Total Meters (184, 184, 184, 183, 183, 181, 183) = 1282
Avg Watts (649, 641, 641, 639, 637, 614, 631) = 636

Answering my own question with this fantastic little row calculator I found:

Chris Dunkin said...

1272: 184,186,184,177,180,182,179

KurtGP said...

150,154,147,149,154,153,150= 1057

Ryan @ CFGP said...

169 / 168 / 172 / 168 / 172 / 172 / 170 = 1191
played with damper (range 2-7) and did not get much difference.

Erik Luber said...

Martin- Just a word of caution. The formula that these calculators use is:

P = 2.8(d/t)^3

where d and t are your distance and time. This is _only_ true if you have rowed at a constant speed throughout the entire interval. So, over large distances this is a pretty good approximation because most of the time is spent rowing at a steady pace...but in a short interval like a 30 sec sprint this is typically a poor assumption because there is a lot of acceleration going on. So depending on how fast you accelerate to your top speed and if you can maintain it, there can be a lot of error in estimating your average power using any of the online calculators.

181,181,174,169,179,168,169 = 1221.

plenty of HSPU practice in warm-up.

Erik Luber said...

166, 163, 162, 158, 156, 153 153 = 1111 m

Took a long time to recover, that was painful. Just got back from Mexico yesterday, good to be back!

Geoff Aucoin said...

1197, I wanted/expected more. Played with damper on every round and it seems somewhere between 5-7 is best for this time/distance. My one round below 170m (164m)was @ damper 3, my best was 176m @ damper 6.

Recovery good, I just don't have the power in my hips to really kill this WOD. If I was to repeat this WOD my damper wouldn't go below 5. Ass slippage was present again so I may have to play with the foot stretchers, too.

My bis are really pumped up, that's not a good sign.

My word is 'dedgerls', as in that's what my arms feel like.

Paul Klein said...

176, 177, 181, 180, 179, 179, 177 = 1249 total meters

Played with damper settings from 7 to 10, I didn't notice much difference in them.

Thanks Doug Zirkle, Lisa M and Geoff Aucoin for the comments on the T2B yesterday. I really do appreciate the help!

Thanks to Laura for talking me into doing this after a 1rm deadlift session where I pulled a PB of 276# :o)
I felt good for the first 3 rounds but the last 4 were a stru--gle! However, once it was over I was glad I did it.

slipping off of seat at lower settings but over all pretty happy with effort much better then last row sprints

Damper at 7 for all but last which was set to 8. Messed with stroke rate and power, not sure which worked best.

167/171/172/173/172/171/169

damper 7 for all. played with foot board on 1st and last set. I don't really think it made a difference between notch 3 for 2-6 and 1 on the other two. Got a little queasy but not as much as last time when I did it early a.m. According to De Vany maybe I got more GH fasted/first thing=queasy. I dunno.

rwcorson said...

176m @ damper 5
176m @ 5.5
177m @ 6
175m @ 6
173m @ 5.5
172m @ 5
171m @ 5
total - 1220m In the last 2 intervals they form started to drop off in the last 10 seconds. The seat was all over the place.
To warm up I did power snatch, OHS & hang squat snatch, then power snatch and hang squat snatch and finally squat snatch. All were singles. I ended up getting a PR snatch @ 155# and still felt like I had more to give.

Just found myself a Model D on craigslist. Picking it up on Wednesday. Excited to have one less reason to have to use Dartmouth's undergrad facility.

Geoff Aucoin said...

Jaysus, Corson, nice work buddy!

Greg Soneff said...

Total meters = 1223 (Damper 6 all the way through)

Catching up after being out all week with the flu. Did yesterday's workout a little while before the row intervals.

A: 60/70/80f/80/83kg
B1: 40kg (2.5 pood) unbroken x 3
B2: 3/3/2 (embarassing!!)
C1: pace definitely made these ones burn
C2: unbroken x 3 (finally got the hang of the kipping T2B)

James, sorry for the late message but my name didn't make it into the overall results for last weekend (not that I was a contender) is it because I subbed DB Thrusters for the wall balls?

Sweeney said...

Did this one at Crossfit Las Vegas.

Thanks to Joe and Zach for the hospitality. Great box, great atmosphere!!!

Don't have a rower and none of the local gyms were open on a sunday...guess that's what you get for living in a small town.

Good rows Rob & Brent!

took a little while to find a way to max this. Used a more aggresive stroke return to up my rating from interval 3 onwards.

Rad workout James!

Total Meters: 1169

PWO: 40gP (MRM shake), 10gC (mashed yams w/ cinnamon)

Notes:
- Done at home.
- Damper at 7 on all sets.
- Lost the seat a little in set 5.
- Unhappy with my Power Ratio here, previous workouts of Sprint Row have yielded much higher Power Ratios. I am still nursing the hurt right knee, so I am not overly concerned.
- Need to play with damper settings and determine best for me in relation to Power. Thinking about trying 5/6.

Watched the Wods from the black box summit - i must say the ROM on their pullups was very suspect. I really appreciate James emphasis on complete full rom i think it makes us all better athletes. I would hope that all those owners of their own boxes would be more particular about their ROMs hmmmmm

Did an extra :30 about 20min Later on damper Zero to see the results, and my score was 184 which was my second highest during the wod on damper 7. I'll take this as an indication of my stroke getting more efficient.

Had to do this a day late. Damper on 5.

Total - 1473m

- Was right around 200m on each round
- Didnt even think to look at or change the damper
- First time on a rower since the Games. It's good to be back and to have access to equipment!!
- I'm not sure how to use the concept 2, so it will take me a bit to get comfortable here. How do you keep from falling off the damn thing?!?
