Good Luck Pan Mass Challenge Riders!

Long time PMC rider!

Every August thousands of cyclists from all over come to Massachusetts to participate in the PMC and raise money for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  My family began participating when I was 13 and I’ve ridden or volunteered almost every year since.  Big shout out to my Mom and Dad who are riding together this year!  Have Fun!

Drivers please be careful and Riders be safe!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the beach if you can or go for a row!

Sunset Row w/ Renegade Rowing Team last year!

What are you doing in this heat?

Are you Hydrated?

It’s been ridiculously hot out and if you’re in New England the humidity has been even worse.  What are you doing to stay cool and enjoy the weekend?  I’m going to hit a BBQ up in NH.  I hope you can get to the beach or pool and have fun in this heat.  If you haven’t calculated how much you should be drinking on a daily basis to stay hydrated, today is a good day to figure it out.  Click on the Hydration link above to read one of Alex Black’s first Nutrition articles for Renegade Rowing.

Have an awesome Sunday and stay cool!

It’s finally summer and June is already over.  What did you learn?  Did you learn how to suspend from the handle, maintain a consistent split, or vary your ratio?  Did you learn more about your Olympic Lifts?  How hard did you push toward your goals?  What are you looking forward to learning in July and how will you attack your goals differently?  If you had any great revelations or fun stories please share!

Boston Summer Sunset over the Basin. Enjoy more of these on the Renegade Rowing Team! Tue/Wed nights 6:30-8pm

Get Outside! Go for a 45min Walk!

Life can get crazy and schedules can fill up fast, especially in the summer with work, parties, and vacations.  That doesn’t mean you should just give in to the pressure.  Sometimes taking 5 minutes to step outside and breath can be extremely refreshing.  Taking time for yourself is key to balance and recovery.  Find a river, go for a walk, enjoy the little things.

Share your experience or what you do to take time for yourself.
