| Endurance | 9/10 | For time: 1000m swim followed by 1000m paddle (e.g., on a paddleboard), with a 50-min cap. This is a long-distance endurance event testing cardiovascular fitness and specific endurance in two water-based modalities. Proficiency in both is key. |
| Stamina | 8/10 | Sustained effort in swimming (full body) and paddling (upper body, core) for potentially close to an hour will test specific muscular endurance in those patterns to an extreme degree. |
| Strength | 3/10 | Minimal maximal strength required. Focus is on endurance capacity and efficient movement in swimming and paddling, which rely on specific strength endurance. |
| Flexibility | 4/10 | Requires good shoulder/thoracic mobility for efficient swimming and paddling strokes. Core stability and hip mobility also contribute. |
| Power | 2/10 | While strong strokes have a power component, the overall WOD is dominated by aerobic endurance pacing rather than maximal power output per effort. |
| Speed | 5/10 | Maintaining a strong, consistent pace in both the swim and paddle segments, and managing the transition, is crucial for a good time. Pacing strategy for the long duration is key. |
