Rest Day:

Renegade Rowing Team - Racing at the Rumble on the River

Do you have what it takes to Race?

Have you ever seen an eight racing at top speed?  Are you interested in experiencing that for yourself?  Can you follow?  Can you push yourself?  Can you push others?  Do you have discipline? Will you work hard and find a way to push on even when pain and that little voice inside your head tells you to stop?

Then you should tryout for the Renegade Rowing Team.

For now though, go checkout the Rumble on the River at Community Rowing Inc. in Brighton!  Racing and Live Music on the banks of the Charles River all day long.  Have some fun and checkout this awesome sport we call Rowing.

Here’s the RRT finding some rhythm in the Quad earlier this year…

Mobilize and then go for a walk!

America is an amazing place to call home.  Honor today by working hard in whatever you do and then get outside and enjoy a walk around a lake or along a river if possible.

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 14th there will be a regatta at Community Rowing, Inc. in Brighton called the Rumble on the River.  It’s a lot of fun to go watch because there is live music and food in addition to some rowing.

Rest Day 9/4/14: 15min of Mobility – Share Your Focus

BC Men's Crew pushing it out during Cindy

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?

Share your thoughts to comments!

BC Men back on the water in the Barge last Thursday

Congrats to all those that tested their 5k yesterday!  Hopefully you PR’ed and everyone executed a solid game plan.  Labor Day Weekend is a time to rest, relax, and have some fun with family and friends.  With that in mind get outside and be active.  Grab a friend and go a hike a mountain or hit a swimming hole.  Play some golf or go for a ride.  I wish you all a happy Labor Day Weekend and I look forward to hitting training hard with you on Tuesday!

All the best!
