Advanced Math The formula: 5x500m-3'r, 4x400m-2:30'r, 3x300m-2'r, 2x200m-1:30'r, 100m, 5' rest in between The distance and interval decrease should result in a faster split, so try to go negative across all 15 intervals. Increase the stroke rate by two and drop the average split by two throughout each set. Keep moving during the rest (paddle). YOU CAN DO IT. The suggested starting stroke rate is 24; you decide. The goal is +2 SR/-2 AvgSplit for each set. * If you get an "invalid" result, don't sweat it. Your effort still counts. You have to be almost perfectly on the suggested stroke rate the entire workout to not be "invalid." We are accepting every completed effort! It's fun and good practice to try hitting and holding those ratings, but you don't have to to pass this class! =)

Economics 9'/8'/7'/6'/5'r Economics is about understanding the numbers. It is the study of allocating scarce resources to satisfy one's needs and wants. It examines how people make choices in the face of scarcity and the consequences of those choices. Economics encompasses the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. In this case study, we will examine energy and time consumption in the face of inflation. As the time of each interval decreases, the stroke rate increases. Six minutes rest in between intervals. The goal is to negative split across the entire workout, stepping down your avg/split with each stroke rate increase. Be pragmatic initially, but don't sandbag the first 9' either. Have a strategic plan. * Target goal of +2 on the stroke rate/-2 on the avg/split. Suggested starting SR is 22. Throw darts and be accurate. Control the numbers on the monitor, not the other way around. This workout demonstrates the importance of economic stability and the precision suffering necessary to win races. Anaerobic to the max. * If you get an "invalid" result, don't sweat it. Your effort still counts. You must be almost perfectly on the suggested stroke rate the entire workout to not be "invalid." We are accepting every completed effort! It's fun and good practice to try hitting and holding those ratings, but you don't have to to pass this class! =)

Poetry Essentials Rhythm, pacing, structure, tone... All integral components of a poem. The beauty of repetition. A symphony of sound and meter. The assignment here is to row this piece with the elegance and precision of a perfectly crafted stanza. Great rowing is art. Elevate your technique to the next level and a higher form. 32' Redline: A Meditation on Rate and Split Control. Practice shifting up and down between the stroke rates of 22 and 26 while maintaining consistent splits at similar rates (1st 4-min at 22 should equal the 4th 4-min at 22). Ideally, you will only have two different avg/splits, one at a 22, and one at a 26, that repeat all the way throughout the 32 minutes. * If you get an "invalid" result, don't sweat it. Your effort still counts. You have to be almost perfectly on the suggested stroke rate the entire workout to not be "invalid." We are accepting every completed effort! It's fun and good practice to try hitting and holding those ratings, but you don't have to to pass this class! =)

Poli Sci 5x1750m-7'r They're almost 2Ks, but not quite. Is it a conspiracy? Or is it a cover-up?! Five times, getting faster on each one. Was there a vote? Are tax dollars paying for this? Will my insurance cover it? Is it happening in other countries? +2 on the rate, -2 on the split, each piece.

Small Engines Make it go. Make it go fast. Keep it running. 4x5'-5'r. You will row four 5-minute pieces: 20 seconds on/40 seconds off during each minute, with a 5-minute rest in between each set. A stroke rate of 30 is the minimum suggested for this workout. (If you never row at a 30, pick a stroke rate at your high/sprinting end.) It will feel quick, as the "on" strokes at 30+ will get you 10 to 12 strokes before the rest. Just make sure you are up to speed as you come across the line at the end of the 20-second on period. Build the stroke rate over the pieces; do not let yourself go below the stroke rate you started at. Tune the machine.
