REST!

Yes, I know it is snowing and cold. I need you to come in on this rest day to learn some Olympic lifting. Today, we will teach the Snatch. We will also provide hot chocolate as an incentive to come and get better on your Olympic lifting.

No, we will not provide marshmallows!

WHAT : A 2000 meter race on indoor rowing machines. A race takes about 8 minutes and is a sprint. Competitors compete side-by-side in heats of 10 people. The machines are electronically linked. Their progress is depicted by video game boats racing down a course, so the spectators and competitors can watch the race on a big screen.

There are categories for all levels including age groups and skill levels. The oldest competitor is 90 and the youngest is 13. Most competitors are from Indianapolis, though teams also come from Bloomington, Lafayette, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, as well as Kentucky and Ohio.

WHO: Anyone can enter. No experience necessary, though if you’d like to train, we will help you!

WHAT CAN YOU WIN?? The winners of relay race* win their very own erg! Individuals who meet a time standard also win a free trip to Boston to compete at the International Indoor Rowing Championships. Last year, two competitors at this race won trips!

What does CRASH-B SATALITTE MEAN? It means if you meet the time standards for your age group — you can win a free trip to Boston to compete at the World Championships on Sunday, February 22, 2009.
