ROWERS and ROWER FAMILIES

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2010 is going to be AWESOME!

Rowing begins on Saturday March 6 at 9:30 a.m. Meet at the back doors of the Y. We will rig boats and then have first on the water practice session. We will be back at the Y at 2 p.m. Bring LOTS of layers of clothes, gloves and lunch!!!

For the rest of the season we will have practice Tuesday – Friday from 3:30-5:45 p.m. Meet at the back doors of the Y at 3:30 p.m. and be prepared with layers of clothes and running shoes. Please use Monday afternoon for extra homework day, doctor visits, or personal training time.

We will attend regattas in Baltimore April 10th (Baltimore Invitational) and April 24th (Maryland Championships). The dates for the Cooper Cup and St. Andrews Invitational are not yet posted. We will let you know as soon as possible.

The last practice of the season is scheduled for Thursday May 13th.

We will NOT practice on Friday, April 2nd (Good Friday).

It is EXPECTED that you will be in shape by the beginning of the season. If you are not able to row two 5000 m pieces or run 2 miles (a mile in less than 10 minutes is a gauge) then GET BUSY!!!! Several rowers are meeting at the Y over the winter for practice sessions to stay in shape. If you need some motivation find some team mates to train with over the next few weeks- make it fun! Find some great friends and turn up the tunes......start building your dreams from the inside out!!! Live on purpose!!! Press the ‘PLAY’ button of your life.
