2026 World Rowing Virtual Series 

APRIL — CHALLENGE 1: PowErg

The format is simple. The suffering is not.

4 intervals. 30 seconds rest. Zero mercy.

3 min on → 30 sec rest

2 min on → 30 sec rest

1 min → 30 sec rest

30 sec on — leave it ALL on the machine

Score: Total distance + max watts on that final 30-second interval (1649 meters and 402 WATTS)

A pure test of engine and execution. Four hard intervals. Just 30 seconds rest. Full rest after the one-minute interval—flywheel must come to a complete halt. The 402 WATTS equates to a 1:35.5 pace—not too shabby with the drag set to just 108.
