Fun with Rowing!

So here's my first CrossFit discussion...

Yesterday we rowed. And burpeed. And it sucked. And I sucked. Rx'd was:
Row 750 meters
15 burpees
Row 500 meters
30 burpees
Row 250 meters
50 burpees

Since this was an optional workout, there was no scaling (there is always scaling!). It was just a skill practice day...the skill being rowing. So, I scaled it myself and did:
Row 750 meters
15 burpees
Row 500 meters
20 burpees
Row 250 meters
25 burpess

Can you tell what part of the work out I don't like...therefore scaled back? :) I did all this in 19:21. And here's the fun part (as if it weren't fun enough!), we worked out outside since the owner refuses to allow us to have AC...and since my allergies are horrendous right now, I broke out in a rash all over my arms and neck. NICE! So, I downed 2 Benedryl, a glass of wine (antioxidants...don't judge!) and called it a night. Then, at 3am I woke up to a sneezing fit and took a Singulair. I hate my allergies more than I hate burpees.
