I am not built for speed. Any time there's a speed rowing piece of a MetCon at Crossfit, I haaaate my life. Hate it. Sprinting is the same way.
Last night we did a 2k row time trial. I rocked it. Very consistent pace, sprinted the end and beat my goal time.
I am built for endurance.

Good for you for rocking it!
I'm the total opposite. Give me a sprint and I'm good. Long distance and I start wearing down and getting bored.

Me too. I hate sprints. I build good pace over a long time. Give me a long run any day :-)

I am a distance person as well. This is why I hated running (or thought I did) for so long. Because until I went past the 5K mark I thought is stunk. I just take a long time to warm up!
I may not get there quickly, but I'll get there.

Same here! Sprint a mile? Nope. Plod along for a half marathon and leap like a lunatic at the end: yes!

There's room in the world for the tortoise and the hare!
