The weather this winter has just not been conducive to rowing. First the lake froze, then it snowed, and now we're headed for more wintry weather this weekend. While you wait for warmer days, why not prepare for our very own indoor rowing competition in March? As some of you recall, RRC sponsored a rowing competition at Gold's Gym in 2008. This year, the competition will be at CrossFit Durham and it will be an event to remember.

All participants receive a T-shirt (like a 5k!) and the top three male and female finishers in each category will receive medals (swag! like a 5k!). This event is also a fundraiser for RRC, so if you aren't interested in racing, please consider volunteering. CrossFit Durham and RRC would like to see this event grow into a C.R.A.S.H.-B. qualifier in the next couple of years and as you well know, volunteers can make or break an event.

Here are the details:

What: Durham Indoor Rowing Trials (D.I.R.T.)

RRC held a super duper awesome holiday party. It was really fun and lots of people showed up. Many photos were taken, but someone can't figure out how to get them up on this web page.
