TYRA 2K WOD RULES AND REGULATIONS

The format of the TYRA 2K WOD will be as follows -

600m row, 30 Air Squats, 500m row, 30 Sit Ups, 400m row, 30 Push Ups, 300m row, 30 Burpees, 200m row

Participants will be judged on successful completion of each rep on the specific exercise portions on this WOD. If the rep is not deemed to be executed correctly it will not count and will have to be reattempted until the participant has reached 30 reps in a particular set. In addition, exercise repetitions cannot be started until the specific distance has been rowed on the ergometer (to the attending judge’s satisfaction). For example, if the rower is tasked with rowing 600m and the readout on the ergometer says that only 595m have been rowed the rower will not be permitted to continue to air squats until the readout says that 600m has been rowed successfully. Additionally, TYRA2K participants must complete the WOD in the order listed above with no exceptions.

Weigh-In Procedure
There will be a weigh-in station set up for all weigh-ins. All lightweight rowers must weigh in on race day. If weigh-in is successful for athlete, they will be provided with a wristband to verify that they have completed the weigh-in process.
