100,000 Meter Training Row
It’s about time we put the Winter behind us and got on with the Spring already. But before we do, Mike and I had to put in one last ergometer piece to remember the snowpocalypse of 2010 by. On March 7th, 2010, we set up a small shade tent and our Concept2 Ergometer at Gravelly Point Park in Arlington, VA. At 0800, Mike started into his first 10,000 meter piece with a goal of alternating rowers every 10,000 meters until we hit 100,000 meters rowed, all with the aim of supporting our charity, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, and to get some long-distance training time in together as a team, outside. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and nicer people to talk to. And even though the Park Police threatened to throw us out because we did not have a permit, they ultimately let us stay, so many thanks all around!
Oh, our final time for the 100,000 meter piece was 7 hours, 10mins, 40sec, and 6 tenths.
It was a really fun experience, and I look forward to some long distance rows on the water moving forward.
By the way, our next training objective is to attend the March 27-28 ISAF Safety at Sea Seminar at the US Naval Academy. We’re already signed-up and confirmed for the event, so we’ll see you there!
