What are you training for this Summer?

As we come to the end of the spring season it’s time to look forward to the Summer.  What will you be training for?  A competition? A race? A wedding?  Please share your goals for this Summer in the comments.

Good Luck to all High School Rowers competing this weekend in championship regattas!  I’ll be cheering on the Wayland-Weston Men and Women at the Mass. Public School State Championships in Lowell.

Have Fun!

Rest Day 5/19/13:RR Recovering

Enjoy Regionals!

Athletes around the globe have been training all year for a shot at Regionals and a chance to make it to the Games.  Now is the time to see all of that hard work pay off.  Good luck to all competitors and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

On the water, rowers have been working hard all spring for the US Rowing Regional Championships.  This weekend junior teams from the Northeast will be competing in Lowell, MA on the Merrimack River for a chance to compete at Nationals in June.  Good luck to all crews!

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope everyone gets a chance to hang out with their mom today and have some fun.  If you’d like to get her something special, consider giving her the gift of rowing!  Come to the CrossFit Rowing Trainer Course in Boston, June 8-9.  You’ll leave with a ton of knowledge, the experience of rowing on the water, and the tools you need to show your mom how to row better.

All the best!  – Coach Pat

Rest Day 5/5/13: What are your favorite sides? Share!

Rest Day 5/5/13:

What are your favorite sides?

kaleBelow is a great recipe from Alex Black of Wicked Good Nutrition.  Sides can really pump up a meal especially if they’re sides you can get excited about.  Share your favorites!

Kale with Dried Apples

Kale is a nutrient rich green vegetable, and makes a great side dish for your chicken, beef, or fish. Raw kale can be on the more bitter side (depending on whether or not you’re a bitter taster), which is why it’s often added to smoothies and juices, although some enjoy it as part of a salad. This recipe adds a little sweetness and makes 2-3 servings.

Spend two days with Coach Shane Farmer. The first day will be spent learning rowing technique, technical error analysis and correction, verbal cues, rowing physiology and kinesiology, how to structure a CrossFit rowing workout, maximizing rowing power and efficiency, increasing rowing power output for better WOD times/scores and more at this comprehensive workshop. The day will include lecture, rowing on the Concept2 indoor rowing machine, team teaching, and two CrossFit workouts. Knowing how to row correctly and teach rowing to your clients are invaluable skills within the CrossFIt community.

The second day will enable participants to take their rowing skills outdoors and into actual on the water racing boats. Transferring the skills learned on the indoor rowing machine to an on-water rowing experience will enable participants to further refine their technique and power output capabilities.

Day 2 – This day is set aside for those wishing to learn the basics of using a single person boat.  There is a lot to learn and everyone will face different challenges, but the focus is on having fun and learning the basics. No rowing experience is needed, however swimming skills are required. You should be able to swim a distance of 75 feet, tread water for 5 minutes and swim a distance of 20 feet under water. Everyone participating in the On Water Rowing will be required to sign a standard Athlete Release Form.

Here’s a peek at where we’ll be rowing on the water….
