testing - Thursday 24 April

10 rounds for time:
500m row
15 burpees
36:21
Did better than I thought I would on this one - had been dreading it all week, and built it up in my head to be worse than it was.  That's not to say it was pleasant, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.  Settled in to a nice rhythm in the middle - looked at the clock at 11:00 in, then the next thing I saw was 27:00.  Decided to keep the row sustainable and try to push it on the burpees.  For 9 rounds, rowed between 2:20-2:25 (21s/m) and did the burpees quickly with a conscious effort to never stop (almost exactly 1:00 for the first 9 rounds).  Transition off the rower to the burpees was always very fast, but took a good 0:10-0:15 marking the round with chalk and taking a sip of water after each set of burpees.  Rowed at 2:10 for the last 500m and did the last 15 burpees AFAP.  Pleasantly surprised!  Really thought I would be closer to 40:00.
