SUPPLEMENTAL ERG WORKOUT PLAN AVAILABLE ONLINE

Coach Kevin believes that you should try to erg once or twice weekly for fitness benefits, with additional workouts particularly useful closer to erg tests. He has posted a list of supplemental erg workouts is for you to use as you choose. Download this plan now at http://www.a2crew.com/docs/training/SuppErgWrkouts.xls

SCULLING BEGINS

Club scullers (those who are club scullers exclusively and those who also sweep), the small boats are rigged and it's time to get out there! If you want to row, you must register first. For those who are already registered for sweep rowing, you'll pay the $5 monthly increment for access to the small boats. For those who are not sweep rowers, you'll pay the entire fee ($65 or thereabouts, depending on the month). Both sweep+scullers and scullers-only start here to register: https://www.sporg.com/registration?link_type=reg_info&form_id=40236
