Workout Flow:
Run: 1600 m (Together)
Both athletes must complete the full 1600 m run together.
Athletes must remain within 2 metres of each other at all times.
The run begins behind the designated start line and ends once both athletes have crossed the finish line.
Time is not split, you move directly to the rower once both athletes finish.

Distance can be divided however you like; only one athlete works at a time.
The monitor must clearly display the total meters for the division before the final rower leaves the seat.
Transitions may occur only once the handle is docked and the next athlete is seated.
Athletes may adjust damper settings during transitions but may not reset the monitor.
Echo Bike: 120 / 100 / 85 calories (split)
Calories may be divided as desired; one athlete works at a time.
The team’s time stops when the screen reaches 120 / 100 / 85 calories.

Echo Bike: Monitor calories must be started from zero.
Judging & Scoring

Total time (or reps completed if capped)
Strategy Notes
This workout rewards team pacing and communication. The 1600 m run should be steady enough to allow a quick transition to the rower. Efficient transitions on the row and bike will save significant time. Stronger Together is exactly that... stay close, share the load, and keep moving.
This is a floater workout and can be completed at any time with the designated judge in the designated area.
Teams will complete 60 seconds of continuous skipping, aiming to achieve as many synchro reps as possible. A rep counts only when both athletes leave the ground and land at the same time.
This workout rewards rhythm, communication, and timing...not just raw conditioning.
