Winter Taining: UPDATE!

Hi crew,
Winter training it getting off to a great start! There have been a few changes that I want you to know about.

First:
PJ got a full time job and will not be able to coach for winter training. I will be taking on both teams for the duration of winter. On Monday I will bring a weightlifting training circuit for the guys. This circuit will focus on increasing endurance, strength and flexibility. Download this PDF about weight training for rowing to learn a little more about it. I will be modifying it slightly to fit the YMCA facilities. If you have any questions let me know!

Also note that the days of practice: Monday -Thursday for ALL CREWS, we will be at the boathouse for erging on WEDNESDAYS! (Guys, you will continue with PJ for the rest of this (Dec. 1-4) week and I will take over on Monday the 8th)

Remember: there is still time to join for winter training if you want to. Contact either me or parent rep. Mike Ruth (Will and Nelson's dad).

Second:
I would like to set a date for the Millersylvania mud puddle workout. This is a 1 mile loop course with exercise stations. Lots of fun for team building and general muddiness :) I propose December 20th from 10 AM-12 PM but would like some feed back from rowers and parents.

I think that is all!

Thanks team!

Hey, Evan here.

I don't know if anyone will check here, but I cannot make it to practice today (December 8th). I also had previously agreed to give Andrew Taylor a ride, but am not able to today, and have already told him. If anyone could maybe give him a ride in my place that would be great for me, but i do not know about for him.
