Better rowing: notes on erging
Concept2.com is a great resource:
Technique
Understanding drag factor
Online world rankings
and lots more
PLEASE NOTE that because we only have 2 rowers and each person’s 5K will take approximately 20 minutes, I’m planning to run the 11am, noon, and 1pm WOD classes to facilitate usage of the rowers.
Whenever a member shows up, they should report to me so that I may add their name to my list. As rowers become free, I’ll be sequencing who goes next based on that list.
Class will still have a structured warm-up/skillwork component along with a finisher, but these will be staggered along with the rowing to get people through in a timely fashion and keep the rowers in use at all times.

    Worked w Brian D and his GF Rachel this morning. Gotta say it was really helpful in working my O lifts. If you guys are looking to improve your Olympic Lifting technique this is the way to do it.
    Is anyone going to the Sectionals for the Crosfit games? I’m all registered and need training
    partners. Who’s in?

    People can also keep up with the personal workout log on the concept2 website. Pretty useful to track current vs. past performance.
