Every time you switch, the person coming off the rower performs 8 thrusters (95/35), including at 0:00.
Scale the weight so that you can perform the thrusters unbroken. The workout will begin with one person on the rower and the other performing 8 thrusters. The workout ends when the rower hits 3000m, no need do any thrusters at the end.
If biking, the distance is 4.2 miles, switching every 0.4 miles. Bikes shall only be used if there are not enough rowers.
