The winner of the challenge will be announced at the wrap-up party on February 25th at 6:00 pm in the Cyber Cafe at the Saratoga Springs Branch.
January Team Rowing Challenge
Attention rowers and all of you who want to try a new workout. The annual January Rowing Challenge starts January 1st and runs through January 31st, 2010. We, as the Saratoga Springs YMCA team, are competing against several thousand teams worldwide through Concept2. If you haven't tried rowing before you will find it to be a great whole body workout. Start off the new year with the challenge and join the camaraderie of the rowing team. This competition is open to all YMCA of Saratoga branches.
To participate Y members need to create a personal online logbook at concept2.com and designate the Saratoga Springs Y as their team. The team captain will do this for those who do not have computer access. For fun we will also have log sheets near the rowers, but remember the only meters that count are the ones that are logged on your personal online log book at concept2.
New to rowing? We'll be glad to help you get started! The rowing team is a great group of Y members ranging from 15 to84.
An "End of the Challenge" Rowing Party with PRIZES will be held-date and time TBA.
Please contact the team captain, Jennifer Warner with any questions. Jennifer may be reached at 518-441-9274 or jwwarner@nycap.rr.com.
