Scaling:
Reduce the reps and loading so you can complete each round quickly and in nearly unbroken sets. Each round should be a sprint, with rest occurring only in the 3 minutes between rounds. Reduce the total number of rounds to maintain speed rather than slogging through all 5.
After each row, perform 1 bodyweight front squat for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 12 pulls on the rower, complete 12 front squats before starting the next round. Reset the rower prior to each round.

Scaling:
This workout encourages hard pulls on the rower. Increase the damper setting and slow your cadence to minimize the number of pulls each round. Choose a front-squat weight that is heavy but can be completed unbroken when fresh.

Row 100♀ / 150♂meters in as few pulls as possible
After each row, perform 3/4 bodyweight front squat for each pull taken.
Beginner Option:
4 rounds for time of:
Row 100♀ / 150♂meters in as few pulls as possible
After each row, perform 1 front squat for each pull taken.
Complete as many reps as possible in 21 minutes of:
Run 400/200/100 meters
Max-rep strict pull-ups
Each time you break a set of pull-ups, complete a run. From 0:00-7:00 run 400s, from 7:00-14:00 run 200s, and from 14:00-21:00 run 100s.
Post number of strict pull-ups completed each round to comments.
Scaling:
Choose a pulling exercise that is challenging but allows you to complete at least 10 reps unbroken in the early rounds. If at any point you cannot complete 3 reps unbroken, switch to an easier form of pull-up.
