June—Challenge 1: Miles Apart
3218-meter row (2 miles)
Score: Overall time and middle mile split.
The middle mile is where this race is really won or lost. It strips away the adrenaline of the opening strokes and the grit of the final push — that last desperate dig when you know the finish line is coming. What's left is the mile where tactics can't save you. No burst, no sprint, no tricks. Just honest, sustained effort that exposes your true aerobic capacity and pacing discipline. I held around 5K pace throughout with a deliberate bump in the middle to protect that split. Simple in theory. Brutal in practice.
