Ella Fox parlayed her CrossFit workouts into indoor rowing competition where she has set world records and is women's 500-meter world champion in her age group
A Poway mother of three young kids has muscled her way to five world records and multiple world championships only two years after taking up her sport.
Five days later, she bested her own record for greatest distance in 60 seconds by a woman of any age when she logged 366 meters, rowing on slides. “There’s not much info on sprint rowing training, so we studied how sprint runners and swimmers trained and incorporated some of those methods into our workouts,” she said. “My favorite workout is one that we copied from an Olympic sprint swimmer and adapted to rowing.”
When I talked to Fox on Wednesday, she had tried unsuccessfully that morning for another world record of achieving the greatest distance in a four-minute interval. Another great indoor rower, Ana Caldas, originally from Portugal, has been training in San Diego. She is the same age as Fox and holds some records that Fox became determined to break. The two San Diego women have never met.
