Albany's description of the WOD's:

Here are the two WODs we will be hitting on Saturday, May 23rd, Day 1 of the Northeast Qualifiers. Included below are the movements we will be using for each WOD and the standards you will be held to.
WOD 1:
As Many Rounds as Possible in 12 Minutes of:
7 Thrusters
15 Burpees
Weights:
Thruster Men: 135lbs
Thruster Women: 95lbs
Thruster standards: No racks will be used. Competitors must raise the bar to their own shoulders. If competitors choose to squat clean the bar off of the floor and the depth of the squat brings the competitors’ hip crease below their patella (to a legal squat depth), this can be the beginning of their first thruster. Otherwise, the competitor must lower their hip crease below the patella with the bar at the shoulders before beginning their first drive overhead.
One repetition will be counted when this full depth squat and a full lock overhead have been completed. A full lock overhead requires that the ear is visible in front of a fully locked arm (at the elbow) supporting the barbell. The knee and hip must also be locked and open in order for the repetition to count.
If the competitor is unable to drive the bar directly into a locked push press from the front squat, they may drive their body down under the bar (jerk), but the finish must be in a fully standing, fully locked overhead position as described above in order for the repetition to count.

Burpee Standards: The Chest must hit the deck at the beginning and the feet must leave the ground in an upright jump with an overhead clap at the end. Hips must be open at the top of the jump in order for the repetition to count. Not touching the chest, not leaving the ground, not opening the hip on the jump, not jumping into a vertical body position, and no clap will mean repetitions will not be counted.

Rational:
The Thruster and Burpee couplet is an excellent combination of a heavy weightlifting movement and a moderately high rep gymnastics movement. Neither the larger nor smaller athlete is favored in this workout making it a great baseline WOD. These movements are both low skill movements which move large loads long distances and quickly. Athletes will have to appropriately pace themselves over a 12 minute time domain.
WOD 2:
ROW 2000 Meters on the Concept 2 Rower
Row – Set the damper where you want it. A judge will set the rower to count down from 2000m. Row until the counter reaches 0m for time while staying on the seat and maintaining the feet in the straps. Not much more to say, embrace the suck!
Rational:
The 2000 meter row is one of the purest tests of work output. This single modality test challenges each athletes physical and mental toughness. If you've ever attempted an all out 2K row, you know exactly what we're talking about.
Good Luck!
