Round one down, four more to go… What an amazing job done by all. For those of you for whom this is your first time in a competitive environment, you were nothing less than fierce and certainly rose to your potentials. Hopefully now you see how much can be achieved when the right workout is thrown at you. Your limits are far greater in your own minds than they exist on that rubber floor and beyond the walls of this facility. When these five weeks are over I hope you will be able to ascertain that belief beyond any other numerical achievements.
We had a couple athletes who have only been with us for a couple months, and in some cases mere weeks, and finished in our top five or six. Big shout outs to Alli and Sally for stepping up and finishing right up there in our top six women. An “ada boy” to Tim W. as well for finishing in our top three and helping propel our team to a great position after week one. If you are unaware of where we stand, check it out… Here you will see us 4th in our region and 47th overall in the world. We have two athletes (Jana and Carlos) in the top 25 for our region and Kevin rounding out the top 33 men.
We are far from done but lets stay focused on what we are more than capable and prepared to do – get our team to Regionals. Remember to talk to me if you have any scheduling conflicts regarding this Saturday. Week one was a very unique workout that did not require much from a judging standpoint so you can expect week two to be a little more challenging from an overseer position.
On the Horizon
We have a few calendar items to mention that will be coming up shortly after the RCF Open ends. First, 215 is excited to offer a rowing series for those of you who are looking to take your rowing proficiency to the next level. This series will be a 5 part clinic designed to take you from whatever level you are at now and help to develop a faster, more efficient stroke on the erg. Details are still unraveling but it will take place on Tuesday nights and the cost will be a flat fee for the entire series. If you sign up you will have to commit to all 5 sessions, no make up sessions will be available. Keep checking the event calendar to stay updated on the launch date because space is extremely limited. There will only 8 spots available for this first clinic. Sign up will be through MindBody. Saving the best details for last, this clinic will be taught by 215′s own Jana Heere. Stay Tuned…!
We will also be holding 3 separate Olympic Lifting Clinics, targeting the Snatch, Clean, and Jerk. These clinics will take place on the weekends, details TBD.
Additionally, we are promoting a bunch of adventure races throughout the upcoming year. These races will all be on our event calendar so if you see one that interest you feel free to let us know and I’ll be sure to get them up there to help coordinate participation.
