January Concept2 Virtual Team Challenge

Guess what!?! It’s Virtual Team Challenge time! Looking forward to kicking off the year with the Concept2 Virtual Team Challenge! This is a great challenge where we rack up meters as a team and compete against other teams. We also end up having a few intra-team rivalries as we all see our individual meters racking up! It’s a fun way to pull together and start off the new year.

Join the fun!

I highly encourage masters rowers to participate! If you come to Masters rowing sessions you can count the meters :-) if you're looking for motivation, this can be great motivation. if you're looking to be a part of a group activity, this is a great way to be a part of something.

In order for adults to participate, you will need your own free Concept2 Logbook so you can log your meters. Sign up for your own logbook here: https://log.concept2.com/signup

Once you get your logbook set up, you will want to join the Sweeps & Sculls Privateers Team on the "Teams" tab. Then you will have to opt in to the Challenge on your main "Log" page. You can find more information on all of this here: Virtual Team Challenge Info >>

If you have any trouble, please let me know and I'll see if I can help.

Keeping track of how our team is doing...

January Half Marathons and Marathons

January is also our month to do our half marathon and marathon rows! And yep, we do them in January to rack up the meters for the Virtual Team Challenge! Masters rowers are welcome to try a marathon or half marathon as well, but I don't recommned it unless you have been erging regularly, and by regularly, i mean at least 2-3 times per week. For those that are curious:

• A half marathon is 21,097 meters (1.5 to 2.5 hours)

• A marathon is 42,195 meters (4 to 5.5 hourss - those that do a marathon can get a pin from Concept2!)

Looking forward to seeing how many meters we can pack in during January!
