For Dead-Lift, I worked my way up to 350 for 10 reps.

Not my first time doing Jerry, but first time doing it without a treadmill - and first time doing it after a strength workout on the same day - so all new dynamic here. I couldn't find my last Jerry time.

My first mile was finished in about 7:40. Not really sure exactly what I was going for - nothing too impressive, but this was a little slower than I anticipated. The row was very tough after this, and I averaged a 2:05/500m the whole time, finishing at 8:20 (16 minutes on the clock). When I went back out for run, I could barely lift my legs! I definitely was off to a slow start, but I progressively got faster, and finished at 24:47, so my last mile was 8:47 - much slower than the first.

I now have something to try to beat next time. :)
