Every other minute for 10 minutes (a total of 5 rounds):
30 Russian KB Swings (70/52)
Perform 30 swings in 1 minute, then rest 1 minute.

For every set you don’t complete 30 reps in 1 minute count a penalty of 1 800m run. 

Post Press Loads and any Penalties Counted to Comments
For the strength segment, perform 5 sets of 2 rep Presses.  Do not use your legs to move the load.  Work up to the heaviest set of two you can.  

For the conditioning workout, focus on digging your heels into the ground and keeping your lats tight.  Note: These are prescribed as Russian Swings.  Run your penalty distances at the end of the workout, not for time – unless you choose.

28-min row focusing on s/m.
Row 1 min @ low (18 to 23) s/m. Increase by 1 s/m each minute for 10 minutes.
