ErgZone Challenges S02E02: Upside Down

Imagine a rate pyramid; flip it upside down. 🔻

On this new challenge, we start at the highest rate, climb it down, and climb back up to finish.

All that while keeping a consistent SPI.

And there is more; please do it as soon as possible.

How fast can you be while being consistent?

Here are the details:

• Thirteen (13) continuous minutes (no rest).

• Every split is one minute long (1:00).

• Rate changes every minute.

The skiErg Challenge follows this pyramid sequence: 50-48-46-44-42-40-38-40-42-44-46-48-50

The Row Challenge follows this pyramid sequence:

30-28-26-24-22-20-18-20-22-24-26-28-30

• You choose the wattage/pace for the initial split (first minute).

• Your goal: replicate the same SPI (Stroke Power Index) for the subsequent 12 minutes.

• Your second goal: do it as fast as you can.

Scoring:

Score 1: Match SPI of the 1st split

Earn 1 point for each split, and repeat the same SPI as the first minute (at the prescribed rate).

Score 2: Overall Pace

Disclaimer:

• You must finish the 1st split at 50 SPM. Failing to do so will invalidate the whole workout.

• This challenge is not rate-capped. Each minute must be completed at the designated rate. Deviating above or below will invalidate that split for Score 1.
