Need a little extra volume? Join the rowing challenge 2011
Who’s ready to get their row on? Concept2 CTS is hosting the Fall Team Challenge. The challenge runs from September 15th through October 15th. When you join the Verve team, all you have to do is log any meters you row. Log meters during a warm-up, WOD, or cool down.
The Details
- Each team rows as many meters as they can collectively between 12:00am September 15 and 11:59pm October 15.
- This is a team challenge.
Prizes will be given out to teams that can row over 100,000 meters in the month, so every meter counts!! This will give you a good reason to work on your rowing technique while at the same time get your heart rate up. Put your name down on comments and we will set up a logbook at the gym.
Get your row in where you fit in...
THIS WEDNESDAY AT 7:30pm join us for, How to Approach Competing in 2012
With all the opportunities to apply your fitness in CrossFit events around the Denver area, what's stopping you? Some might argue "I'm not strong enough", "I'm too old to compete with 20 somethings", or "I don't like being in the spotlight." Did you know that many of the events have masters, scaled, and team events? Whether you enjoy Olympic weightlifting, stand-up paddleboarding, or regular old CrossFit workouts, there's a competition for you.
So you've got your mind set on competing in an CrossFit event in 2012, like the CrossFit Open, what do you need to do to get ready? Believe it or not, your fitness isn't like a college class that you can cram for the night before the final. CrossFit requires you to be capable of many tasks, many of which take time and practice in order to master. Training needs to begin sooner than you think and training for an event takes a well outlined plan.
On September 14th and 7:30pm we're hosting an informal meeting to discuss how to approach competing in 2012. Topics will range from scheduling for optimal performance and recovery, to how to fuel yourself optimally for additional volume. Your ticket for entry is to complete the Competitor's Download Competitor_Info_Sheet-1. Please put some thought into your answers and record your most recent PR's for benchmark workouts.
I'm in! James? Where is James? It's too quiet James... SOMEONE CHECK ON JAMES!

Posted by: Joylyn | Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 20:34
I have heard of this rowing thing and it intrigues me. I will give it a go.
Posted by: James (O.G.) | Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 21:30
It's on like donkey kong.
Posted by: Courtney | Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 21:34
I'll do some rowing. Need to work on technique.
Posted by: Darika | Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 23:02
I definitely need to work on rowing -- so count me in too. 100,000 meters sounds like a lot.
PS -- I take issue with the handstand walks and situps being categorized as a "penalty." I like to think of them as a reward and a break from being done with 4 minutes of rowing.
