30min Row for Max Meters (record avg HR, peak HR, wattage and total distance covered)
*If this bothers your hip, stop and we will adjust.


Results

169 bpm, 178 bpm, 205 watt, 7527m

Wow! Im not gonna lie... I was a little nervous before attempting this. This was my first attempt at hitting this. The only other time I have rowed for this long was about two years ago when I rowed a 10k, for time. I remember hating every minute of it haha. Plus, I haven't rowed this long since my hip injury, so I did not know how my hip was going to respond to the repetitive hip flexion.


Talk about embracing the suck! I was happy about overall outcome. Before going into the row I did not have a great idea on what to aim for, so I made short term goals to take my mind off of the clock and tune out. My initial goal going into this was trying to set a personal best on my 5k and suck it up the remainder of the time. Surprisingly, I easily set a new record on my 5k! And this was with a brief pause during the row (dog had to go to the bathroom). If I were to hit this tester again I would aim for 5700 meters. I was holding a 7800 meters for a majority of the row.

Wanted to work on my "mental game," so I decided to row out by the pool with no music and tune out. Focused on breath control, staying calm, and being consistent in each stroke.


No hip pain!
