1,000m Row
1,000m Ski
1,000m Bike
then 750m, 500m, and 250m
Rest 3 min between rounds

(Note: The rest timing was wrong. See below.)

I saw some guys doing this the other day. I liked the idea because it’s heavy cardio.

The first ski was a real problem. My triceps kept cramping, and then my lower back went a little nuts. But it got better.

I did it in 36:52.

So, it turns out I got this one wrong. The rest was 3-2-1, not three minutes each time. The guys who did it said they got it just under 30. But I rested for three minutes longer than them, so if you take that off, I’m still in the mid 30s, which is long.

I set out to do this again today, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was sort on time. So I started at 750, rested 2, then 500, rested 1, then 250.

I got it in just under 20:00.

I figure the 1,000m round would have taken me 13 (with the rest), which again puts me in the mid 30s.

I’ll try it again. I’d like to get it under 30, for nothing but my self-esteem.

I did it today, all the way through, with the right rest timing. I got it in 33:30.

The ski is what kills me. Going from the row to the ski is murder. Still having tricep cramping issues, though my lower back was good today.

I would love to get this quite a bit closer to 30:00.
