Winter Wolf Howl Ergatta

Today we represented Minnesota at the Long Lake Wolf's Howl Ergatta, our first competition of the season.  Being able to view the competition on the big screen during the race brought out the competitive spirit of the rowers, both against other teams and within our own team.  The results we earned gave us a good view of where we are now and what we need to do to be the team we will compete as later in the spring.  Overall, good times and a good time was had by all.  Check out our official results here!

Starting Spring Strong

This morning's 2000m erg test marks the true start of the spring season.  Each rower prepares for a 2k in their own special way: drinking water, stretching out, wearing a superman uni.  The coach has given each rower a challenge: reaching their set goal for 2k and split times, and for the new lightweights, to drop down to 165 lbs.   We use today to prepare for the Winter Wolf Howl Ergatta, hosted by the Long Lake Rowing Club.  With our final Novice team and our new coaching staff, this is our first debute as a team this Spring.  Check back next week for results!!
