How's this for a rowing machine...
For maximum distance covered:
Ten 20 pull efforts on the erg
Rest precisely 30 seconds between sets.
Post thoughts and distances to “comments”.
And finally, here is the recipe for some super simple, super delicious ChocoCoco Macaroons! Thanks Steph! Did I mention that they’re paleo?
Ingredients:
3 large egg whites
1/3 cup (or less) raw honey – you can melt it a little on the stove or in the microwave so it’s more manageable
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup almond meal
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg whites in a bowl using an electric beater until stiff peaks form. Fold in honey, cocoa, walnuts, coconut, and almond meal until just combined to minimize the handling of the batter. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of mixture onto an oven proof tray lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven for 15-18 minutes (depending on macaroon size), or until light brown in color. Cool before serving. Also really good if you keep them in the refrigerator and then eat them cold!
I forget the name of the guy who is 7 feet tall, but he might do well on this.

A little tip on the recipe: instead of paying ridiculous prices for almond meal from your local co-op, try buying raw almonds and blend ‘em in a coffee grinder or food processor. WAY cheaper.
Thanks Hot Dish! I was at 3128.
1711 for me — not sure why I am not hitting the big numbers with y’all. I did manage to keep my pace a good 10 seconds faster per 500m than usual…
This was a surprisingly good workout! I did turn pale. (Other factors may be involved.)
3684. The big question is did I do it in 10 or 11. I believe it was 10, but in full disclosure…I lost track as I was focusing on the stroke. Im tempted to retry this again this week (for prides sake).
3674. Troy – let me know when you want to try it again…you need some competition.

I like those guys for almond flour. Cheaper than raw almonds in some places.
And they have a fun name.

And a little note on the ChocoCoco Macaroons: the recipe comes from my friends Bryan and Victoria who live in Austin, TX and have actually started a paleo baked goods business! They ship to Minneapolis, so if you don’t want to buy your own almond flour, just buy the goodies freshly made by them! They’re getting a website up, but for now, you can friend their business, Perfectly Paleo, on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perfectly-Paleo/290340861234?ref=ts
