Boston University Rowing
Hello, .
I thought I would share the link to the BU Summer Rowing Program that is offered out of the DeWolfe Boathouse on the Charles River. There are two summer sessions, the first of which starts on June 3rd. I have been part of this program for 3 years now. You get to experience rowing in doubles and the instruction is great. I would recommend starting with the intermediate level. The cost is $224 per session (I believe cheaper if you are an alumni) and classes are held two days a week.

Cross-Training
This question was posed to me today...
"Are any of the crew contemplating any other cross-training like weights, yoga, bicycling etc.?"
...and it got me thinking that we really need to start talking about this.
This is a very valid question. Rowing and erging alone are not the only activities that we need to be doing in order to prepare for the rallye.
So, let's hear it! What have you been doing/ plan on doing over the next 4 months in order to cross-train and get that endurance up there?
Here's just one article to get you thinking about cross-training, but there are several on the subject.

I thought I would start off with a glimpse of how fabulous we are going to look in just 4 short months.
Scratch that! We are going to look even better!
I am hearing great things about the Saturday row this weekend and I can attest to a fantastic row for all with the Sunday group. A big thank you to Susie, Jim and Jay for all of their time, coaching and patience. We all greatly appreciate it.
Please send any posts, pictures or videos that you would like added to the blog to me at shantarrant@gmail.com.
For some reason, I was not able to upload all of the youtube videos but here are the links to a few that I thought might be worth watching:
This one is a bit long but shows some of the course for both the
rowers and the bikers. At around the 15 min mark, you can see how the
teams go about getting the boat out of the water and onto the dolly:

This one is less leisurely. Perhaps at the finish line:
