How I did it: My crossfit gym had a rowing seminar taught by the head woman's rowing coach at UVa. It turned out that Lindsay Shoop was in town visiting familiy and she helped out. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A friend and I were doing the standard kind of drunken talking- "The DJs in this town are perety lame. We should *totaly* start DJing together". Flash forward a few weeks later and my friend starts talking to the owner of a local restaurant at the bar. Turns out he's wanting to start being open late and is looking for some DJs.We've been doing Thursday nights pretty much every night since, plus the occasional weekend gig… Read how I did it…
My gym’s workout of the day today is a 2k row. I’m planning to set the pace boat at 7:15 and hopefully beat it by a little bit.
Rowed a 7:45 in August without any pacing. I set a goal of 7:30 and tried rowing even splits until the final 500m where I picked up my pace a bit. Wound up finishing in 7:26. Next goal is 7:15 in a few weeks.
