WoD: "The Journey"

For Time:

Row 5 km

Some may view this as not a CrossFit Workout. We can assure you it is very much a CrossFit workout!
One stream of the 10 General Physical Skills is Cardiovascular / Respiratory Endurance (The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen).
Another is Stamina (The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilise energy).
To help build these (as well as going anaerobic frequently) you need, at times, go aerobic & build capacity in that area.
Make no mistake this isn't a stroll in the park. Its a good honest middle distance pursuit meant to be done as hard as you can "for time". (IF you really try to go at your fastest for this distance!).
For all those that believe that they "don't need it", "don't want to do it". Or "can do this on my own of i wanted to". These are the folks that actually NEED IT THE MOST!!.
Don't avoid it. We are only as fit as our weakest component of those 10 General Physical Skills.
If this is your first go at this then set a mark today so that you can come back in the future and try to beat it. If you are coming back for a repeat attempt then don't shy away from the pressures of trying to beat a PR time. That is the whole point of setting a time in the first place!! Swallow the pride and get after it. Whether you beat an old time or not you WILL still get fit from this.
Note: If you are Modifying away from the rower then you will hit the Assault bike for a 6 MILE time trial instead.
