How to split it
- Fewer switches here: each one costs several seconds getting on and off the rower.
- The faster runner can row first and last, so the other partner rests before the farmers carry.
- Matched pairs can split it evenly with one switch.
Principles only. HyDoubles sets the exact blocks from both partners' benchmarks.
