Who’s on your team?

Every day you go to work there is a team of people you work with.  Every day you go to the gym there is a team of people holding you accountable and pushing you.  Every day you go home there is a team there to support you and love you.  Recognize your team.  Support them by working as hard as you can every single second of the day and you’ll make them better.

RRT13 RoR Team picsFall is here.  Set a goal, whether it’s a competition or a benchmark, and let’s get after it.  Here is a little video of the Renegade Rowing Team.  After 8 weeks of training, they learned to row together and push themselves to a third place finish at the Rumble on the River last Sunday.  If you’d like to attack your goals and have an awesome team to help you get there, come check out Renegade Rowing – either Online or in Boston!

What Regattas will you go watch this fall?

Fall is a great time to experience the world of rowing.  Every September/October Head Races start popping up all over the place.  Head Races tend to be anywhere from 4-6 km and are usually run in a time trial format.  Go to regattacentral.com to find a regatta near you.  Get outside, enjoy the changing leaves, and cheer on your favorite crews.

Next Sunday, September 15 there will be a regatta at Community Rowing, Inc. in Brighton called the Rumble on the River.  I will be there with the Renegade Rowing Team and some brand new T-Shirts for those that are in Boston.  Come check it out and cheer on the Renegade Rowing Team.

15min of Mobility

In rowing the longer your stroke the further you can move the boat and ultimately the faster you can go.  Same thing applies indoors, rowing on the erg.  The only problem with that equation is your positioning.  Are you in a strong position at the catch and finish?  Today is a day to work on mobility and improve that positioning.  Take at least 15 minutes, ideally longer, to work on your tight spots.  What limits you?  Ankle flexion at the catch?  Shoulder mobility at the finish?

Share where you tend to be tight during a row as well as your problem areas for WODs. What are you doing daily to work them out?

Here’s a glimpse of practice this week for the Renegade Rowing Team!  They race at the Rumble on the River, September 15th at Community Rowing Inc.  Come cheer them on!
