THE COMPETITION

• Start timer
• Teammate 1 – Row
• Teammate 2 – Run x 160 meters
• The moment teammate 2 returns from the 160 meter run, teammate 1 gets off the rower and begins their first 160 meter run.
• Teammate 2 gets on the rower and begins rowing.
• This rotation continues until both teammates complete 1600 meters/1 mile or running – 10 rounds which will equal a total of 3200 meters/2 miles of total running.
• The moment the last run is completed, the timer is stopped.

Scoring

Total time to complete 3200 meters of running in seconds minus total meters rowed divided by 10.

Example:
Total time in seconds to complete 3200 meters of running is 15:00 minutes = 900 seconds
Total meters rowed = 3750 meters / divided by 10 = 375
900 – 375 = 525
Sprint Rowlay DEKA Challenge score = 525

The lower the score the better.

Rules 

The same rower must be used by both teammates
Treadmill running is NOT allowed. The 160 meters must be a measured 80 meter out and back or 160 meter loop course
Rollover meters count toward team total (do not reset the rower console during transitions)
