2001 meter row

Several of us did this workout during open gym this morning under the suggestion of Helen White. It was a tough workout which wouldn't have been too bad if it weren't bookended with 2k rows. The only thing I had to scale was the HSPU, where I'm still stuck in 2 abmat land. I thought the thruster and push jerk were going to give me some trouble, but I was able to do them in threes or fours and work through them pretty quickly. What I spent the most time on was the 175 lb power clean. 175 lbs usually isn't too much trouble but I've never done it for more than a single and especially not in a workout where I was already pretty fatigued. I failed on three of the reps, which really slowed me down. I probably spent 5 minutes just on the power clean. I finished in 38:45.
