Congrats again to Renegade Rower Drew Tennant on winning a Fish Head!

Happy Halloween!

Announcing the 2014 Renegade Rowing Club!

I hope you’re planning on dressing up for Friday’s WOD!  I’ll be dressing up to coach!

It’s that time of year again.  The weather has gotten cold and no one wants to row in the cold.  Now is the time to get pumped for training in the gym and crushing your 2k on the erg!  The 2014 Renegade Rowing Club will be held at 6:00am on Tuesday mornings and 6:00pm on Wednesday nights at CrossFit Boston in Allston, MA.  Practices will start next week.  The cost for the Renegade Rowing Club will be $47 per month.  We will be training for the Renegade Rowing League, which will be held in November, December, and January, leading up to CRASH-B’s.  Who’s game?  Email me if you plan on joining the Renegade Rowing Club, pat@renegaderowing.com.  There are only 16 spots available in the club and we already have 7 people signed up, so let me know sooner rather than later!

What’s your 2k Race Plan?

Get hydrated, eat well, and get a good sleep.  It’s been a solid three days of training/testing.  Be sure to take the time to mobilize those quads, hips, and hamstrings.  In training we ask a lot of our quads whether it’s rowing or running stadiums.  Show them some love even if it’s painful.  Do it!

For those that have been following the Rowing WODs you’ve probably noticed we are in the middle of a testing week.  We tested the 5k on Monday, the 1′ domain and 1 RM for our lifts on Tuesday, and our general fitness on Wednesday.  If you’ve missed those or are looking for the ultimate test, Friday will be a chance for you to attain 7 or 8 minutes of glory.  Start thinking of your goal and developing a race plan that will get you there.

Post thoughts on your 2k Race Plan, Goals, and if you will be joining the Renegade Rowing Club!
