Is there a schedule of erg races through out the year?

KipKeino,

In my area (Colorado), other than the Mile High Sprints I just competed in last weekend, there is not a lot. You can go to http://www.concept2.com/us/training/rac ... lendar.aspto see what is going on in your area.

Thanks Rich.

I guess that most people are probably rowing on the water once the weather's nice. I assumed more people used their ergs year round.
I live in Massachusetts and my other sport is running. I could easily find a road race any month of the year. I'm surprised that their isn't more head to head competition in the erg community.

Bill,

I am a runner also and there is a 5 or 10K almost every weekend in the summer around here. I think the number of Indoor Rowers compared to the number of Runners is very small, thus the lack of competitive events. I have not looked into this but there is also the option of On Line racing if you have a high speed connection and the software. After my first competition experience last weekend, I think I will be looking into it.

Lots of us row year-round, but there's a dearth of indoor races.

You could check out the online racing thread for virtual races throughout the year.

I would suggest you jump onboard a vitual team and get into the online racing and challenges. Best place to start is the UK forum in the Teams thread. There's a cross team challenge every month and most teams have their own monthly races and challenges either on rowpro on on Erg League Manager.

I only started rowing in december last year and have made great gains, which I put down to the advice and competition that the team environment provides.

You mean you really want to do that again? Unless you in a scholastic or college program trying to make a boat not much goes on in the indoor rowing world in New England until the fall.

If you have RowPro you can always join an on-line race.

I'm just waiting for the lakes to thaw so I can get back on the water (but erging 12K per day till they do!). Bill - if my Google sleuthing is correct you live in the next town over from me. If you ever want to give sculling a try let me know. It sure beats rowing in your basement! A group of us also get together sometimes and erg together at the QRA in Shrewsbury.

PM me and we can talk.
