Horsepower Row 88 seconds, rest 7 minutes, row 55 seconds Score A: Max watts in interval 1 Score B: Distance in interval 2 Score C: Total distance For very short sprints, racehorses can reach speeds of up to 88 km/h (55 mph)! One horsepower is 736 watts. How much horsepower do you have? To reach your peak power, you will need around six strokes (more for lighter athletes). Once you reach your max watts, find a sustainable but fast pace… Move lightly during the rest to help clear lactate. How much will you have left in the tank for the final 55 seconds? A rolling start is allowed for interval 2. You can adjust your drag factor between intervals. DEADLINE: Friday 18 September 18.00 CEST

Warm-up well!!!

The Dropset Row 1:00, rest 1:00, row 0:50, rest 1:30, row 0:40, rest 2:00, row 0:30, rest 2:30, row 0:20, rest 3:00, row 2:30 Score A: Interval 1 distance, score B: Interval 5 distance, score C: interval 6 distance, score D: total distance Adopt a workhorse mentality and keep going beyond failure. Thoroughbred horses are known for running at maximum effort until they have absolutely nothing left in the tank. Will you start out hot for the first minute? Can you afford to send it on the 20-second interval without compromising the dropset too much? You can change the drag factor between intervals as you wish. Use rolling starts. Attention Australia: Time changes in parts of Australia this weekend, making deadlines 1 hour later than previous weeks.
