Basement: Monday Night Row

I rarely take advantage of the fact that I have a TV in my fitness room.

Honestly, there aren't many exercises I can do that allow for watching TV anyway.  But my rower is facing the TV.

WWE Monday Night RAW was on, and it gave me an idea

My initial plan was to watch wrestling and do a nice leisurely 30 minute row.

Yeah, I basically decided to do that because I wanted to use the title "Monday Night Row."   I am precisely that much of a geek.  

By the way, 30 minutes of rowing is longer than I've ever rowed consecutively.  There's a reason for that.  I kind of fucking hate rowing. 

Before I started, I negotiated with myself down to a single 20 minute row.

As I was doing it, I was getting tired and my arms were hurting.  So I called an audible and decided to do a 10 minute row, and two 5min afterward.

In 10 minutes, I was JUST short of 2,500m. 

5 minute row #1: 1,266m 

5 minute row #2: 1,308m

Since I hate rowing and like wrestling, I may do rowing WODs regularly on Mondays.  

Of course, now that I've put it in writing, I'll probably never use my rower again.
