The Renegade Rowing Team in their lineup!

Rest Day 9/20:

Who Motivates You and Why?

When training or pushing to reach a goal it helps to surround yourself with people who will push you, hold you accountable, pick you up when you fall, and make you your best self.  Last weekend I had the privilege of shoving the Renegade Rowing Team off the dock for their first race on the water.  They are a group of Athletes that came together to challenge the norm and hold themselves to a higher standard.  They came from CrossFit Boston, CrossFit New England, and Community Rowing Inc.   They competed for a spot in the boat, did Rowing WODs on their own, worked toward personal goals in the gym, and put forth a focused effort at every practice.  

Bringing it home in the sprint!

In a matter of 11 practices on the water over two months they learned to row an eight man shell, come together as a team, and race other experienced crews from the Charles River.  They had the second fastest raw time in the Mixed Masters 8+ Event at the Rumble on the River and passed a boat during the head race portion.

Everyone on the Renegade Rowing Team motivates me for their dedication and passion to learn and continually challenge themselves.
