Damper at 3 was the worst not only in terms of time, but it felt like I was spinning my wheels going nowhere. 8 was too much; this one felt easy for the first 150 or so and then I felt like I hit a wall.
Great work 6 a.m.!!
1:42/8, I think
1:46/3
1:41/6
From past experience and from today I think my best performance damper setting is between 6 and 7. I never fully recovered after the first 500m though, my hamstrings were not liking me at all. This would be a good thing to test once a week or so after the daily WOD. One, all out, leave nothing in the tank 500m row. My PR using an 8 damper setting over a year ago was 1:30.8. I think I can get back to that if I row once a week for a couple months.
As for roller coasters... I LOVE THEM!!! I so want to take a trip to Cedar Point cause they have the #1 roller coaster in the country.
CrossFit Love,

The only rowing that I have done lately is on the rusty/non-oiled concept 2s @ 24 hour fitness. Using the well maintained equipment @ crossfit was a treat. I am sure this contributed to my big pr on the 500 meter. I also wore my weightlifting shoes, which seemed to help.
Congrats to all the PRs today. The sprints on the rower are challenging, but everybody pushed themselves. Good crowd today. I wonder where Pat M was? Probably doing DUs somewhere.
Good working with Paul and Nick today. We had some rough ones. I just hope I didn't sacrifice the rest of my day for the glory of crossfit.
2:16.5 (5) - recovery row, hit pukey feeling at 275 had to slow WAY down
2:03.6 (7) - all out last 100m, setting too high
2:11.6 (5) - recovery row, all out last 70m, setting too low
Feel like I can break 1:50 on a 6 setting by pacing and then all out last 75-100m.
fun workout! well, except for the feeling like I'm never going to eat again nausea stuff...aah it goes away. want to beat this time really bad knowing I can, just not today. :)
This was painful, but I learned a lot about damper setting. Also, I was very surprised to find muscle fatigue to be more of a factor than breath. My legs were just jello after 300-350m on the 2rd and 3rd rows.
128.9 (8)
137.2 (9)
138.3 (6)
134.5 (7)
I've never been so happy to row a 1:34 in my life after getting killed on rds 2 and 3.
No PR today, but I feel well poised to get one with my knew knowledge of technique and damper setting.
1:39 then
1:42
1:45
1:49
Damper was between 6 and 7 for each
I felt absolutely terrible after the 2nd 500, almost didn't get back on the rower! pushed through and then my goal was to get the last 2 rnds under 1:50
1:31 (6)
1:43 (7)
1:49 (6)
1:41 (6)
I think I could have kept a more consistent time if I would have saved a little bit on the first round.
As I've said before Jake, if you want to teach my classes so I can come to noon class let me know!
Pretty happy with these times.. this is the type of WOD that makes me wonder how I coulda done if I'd gotten more than 4 hours of sleep last night and hadn't been climbing roofs all day. Darn hail!!
Great job, Karen and Vanessa!! Really fun rowing with you ladies!
1:35
1:38
1:36
As most have either said or their times have shown, the third row was definitely the toughest both physically and mentally. I was very happy with my consistent times considering 1:34 is only a couple seconds off my PR.
1:49/7
1:54/6
2:03/8
2:02/7
As far as roller coasters go, what's not to like? I like the anticipation of the up hill and the exhilaration of the down!
Have fun tomorrow everyone! I'll be following via twitter!!
