RULES + MOVEMENT STANDARDS

• ENGINE

  Teams will each have

  • 1 Concept2 rower
  • 1 Concept2 ski

  On go, teams will start chipping away at the 1.5km distance on both machines. Once BOTH machines reach 500m, any 2 athletes will run 400m. Once an athlete is back they can continue to help chip away at the erg distances.

  • When 1.5km is reached on BOTH machines, all 4 athletes will run 400m.

  Teams must wait until ALL 4 athletes are back from the run until they begin the next round and chipping away at the second distance on both ergs. Once BOTH machines reach 500m, any 2 athletes will run 400m (the other 2 athletes will keep working on the ergs). Once an athlete is back they can continue to help chip away at the distance.

  • When the second distance is reached on BOTH machines, all 4 athletes will run 400m.

  Once ALL athletes are back from the run, they can begin chipping away at the calorie target on both ergs.

  Once the calorie target is reached on BOTH machines, teams will progress across the finish line which will be 3m in front of both ergs.

  If a team does not finish, the remaining cals will equate to 1 second each. i.e. a team has 15 cals left in total (10cal on 1 machine and 5 on another), the teams time will be 20min15sec.

  Following this workout, teams will have 30mins to warm up and get ready for their second workout - LIFTOFF A.

  MOVEMENT STANDARDS

  Ergs - Ergs must be reset after every round, athletes may not get off the erg until the required distances are showing on the screen. Athletes may swap between ergs to reach the required distances.

  Ski Erg - When using the ski, please do not let go of the handles at the bottom of a pull - this can cause the rope to recoil too fast and break/get caught. There will be tape towards the top of the tower, please let go of the handles above this line only, or pass to your team mate so they can continue to use the ski.
