We made a lot of progress this weekend in constructing the new boat racks! However we still have some chores we would like to complete at the site before the boats are placed on the racks. Below is the plan to get the work done and boats off the trailer and onto the racks.

8:30 am – Prepare the site for the Boats:
The group will be divided into several teams:

• Move launches and organize launch related equipment 
• Clean up back area of site; this is where the platforms are for the erg and rowing simulator 
• Removal of brush and general clean up 
• Rake up existing wood chips 
• Check site for any holes created by the racks that were removed 
• Any needed adjustments to the racks will made during this time by the construction team from last weekend

9:30 am – Trailer should be at the site:
Depending upon the progress on the tasks listed above, we would begin taking the boats off the trailer. We would like to perform some general clean up of the boats as we take them off the trailer. The general clean up would entail washing the hull & inside of the boats and grease the slides. Due to the lack of a fresh water supply, we may be limited to the use of spray bottles to clean the boats. Also, we will rig many of the boat as possible.

What you can bring:
Work gloves and a gallon milk jug of tap water or some other water container (to fill the spray bottles). We would like to get this wrapped up in a few hours (3hr – 3.5hr), however this will depend on how many members are available to help out.

Please join us at 8:30 this Saturday!

The Men’s Racing Team would like to formally invite SCRC Members to join our workouts. Our goals are lofty and our workouts intense. However, we have fun and are poised to make a big impact on the Master’s Rowing World this year. There is still time to get in shape and be a part of our squad.

Practice times:

• Tues 6:15 pm (with coaching) 
• Sat 7:30 am (with coaching) 
• Sunday 7:00 am (no coaching)

There are also land training opportunities separate from on-the-water workouts.

We are very flexible and understand you have work and family obligations. We will work around your schedule as much as possible (if you can only make one workout a week – we will work with that; if you want to do all there – GREAT, you might make the top 8+). We have athletes as young as 21 yrs old and up to 55-ish. We have both light weights and heavy weights, monsters on the erg and beautiful technicians. There is a place for almost everyone.

Expect to row sweep and scull. We participate in sprints, head races and even marathons. Our goals are to win big and celebrate big. We only ask that you work hard, be coachable, and play hard (oh, and be ready to receive A LOT of e-mails).

If you don’t know how to sweep – we will teach you.

First Coached Workout is April 2, 2012.

First non-coached workout TBD.

(PS – we also welcome female rowers interested in mixed boats)
