The new to me rower...

Well well, I just finished breaking in the 'new to me' rower. I was very fortunate to come into a used Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower, (the bottom one on that page) the absolute best rowing machine company on the market and a device near and dear to every CrossFitter out there. I've always wanted some aerobic device in my basement, for the winter, and other times when I wanted something to maintain a certain fitness level. I have a variety of kettlebells and grip training apparatus, but this little gem is just what I've been looking for!

I don't have a lot of space, and the ability to break it down and store it in a matter of minutes is uber-convenient.

I am stoked to say the least, it's in great shape. I need to do a little service on the monitor to re-attach a USB port so I can connect it up and flash the firmware. The staff and service at Concept2 is nothing short of outstanding.

In any event. Here's what I did as the inaugural WOD:

For time (but I slipped up and didn't set my watch, argh)

All KB movements with a 1.5 pood (coulda, shoulda used the 2 pood)

5 rounds:
500m row
5 KB swings, right arm
5 KB cleans, right arm
5 KB rack position squats, right arm
5 KB swings, left arm
5 KB cleans, left arm
5 KB rack position squats, left arm

I have no clue where I finished, I was just caught up in the fact I was doing a rowing based WOD in my basement with kettlebells getting a heck of a workout.

So, embracing "the suck" as Coach would say, is only one set of stairs away....
