OCD Rows

[plummy]

Nice! The perfectionists out there argue that a "proper" OCD row should have a minimum 8 (eight!) splits. I'm more in the camp of 6 being more than sufficient but any attempt is great to see.

a ocd with 8 splits is really difficult to achieve...i am failing frequently on my 9999m (11 Splits a 909m) recovery rows on that

[plummy]

Failed again - and in almost exactly the same way...maybe that's a new type of OCD row, failing the same way again and again...

We'll take it if you manage to pull it off!

Tried again, failed again (though slightly better)...

You do realise that at exactly 2:08 you would do 937.5M don't you? That means that you are not targetting exactly 2:08 to get a consistent result, but slightly more or less (hence the mixed response). WOuldn't you be better targetting an exact number of meters to give you the maximum leeway?

Good effort Dave. I don't know if Concept2 truncates or rounds up or down but an interesting observation from Iain.

[Iain]

Good point Max. It certainly truncates stroke rate and I think for target time/distance. So maybe a wise choice from Plummy if it is the same for distance.

Does a "Just Row" where 6 5' sections all 1011M R15 count where 92M wind down afterwards at different rate and pace?

[plummy]

Didn't see your question Iain. I'm not here to judge per se as there are differing views on OCD rows. To me, anything 5~6 splits or above counts but others insist on 8 minimum. Re the 92 as part of a slow down I think that would eliminate it as a solid OCD effort in anyone's book. That said, feel free to post up a picture as the 6 in a row is still impressive anyway
