FEARLESS LEADER FRANK RE-CAPS RNR HOLIDAY ERG CHALLENGE
Dear R&Rers,
Fourteen of our members participated in the Concept 2 100K Holiday Challenge. Thirteen completed the challenge which is three more than we hoped for at the start. We erged a total of 1,667,891 meters, which is amazing, placing us 43rd out of 124 participating on-water clubs with 6-20 members. Goals were met by 251 adaptive rowers and juniors - 50K; 5,574, including us, - 100K; and 2,470 - 200K. The challenge raised $30,000 for charity!
We tracked and encouraged each other with more than 200 emails including helpful coaching from Jay, Pal, Dave and Charlie. Jay, who did a 2 hour, 26K erg row, (remarking “There can't be ergs in heaven”) rowed on-water in addition to erging,. We all received encouragement from Pal, Howard, and others. Kim got us a picture and write up in the paper. Jack reminded us that we were not doing it for the money.
Brian met the challenge early in December before his baby was born, and then added more than 30k more, while Emily did 80K in the last week. As on the water, Loretta may not have been the fastest, but she was the most dedicated, rowing her last 11,818 meters on the last day of the challenge, while also furthering her acting career. Henry was steady, paying attention to raising his heart rate, and Gail never gave up.
Howard rowed enough meters to account for himself and for Sarah – more than 200K and “guilted” Jack into rowing more! Jigger turned in 13 rows for more than 168K meters with comments like “1 x 60 mins easy, damper 4”. Easy, damper 4 is an oxymoron!

Marblehead mom rows to raise money for flood victims
Marblehead mom Kimberly Waller hits the JCC Fitness Center four days a week, rowing for a good cause. She’s part of the Concept2 Rower Holiday Challenge, raising money for the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund helping families recover from devastating floods.
“Rowing is a great way to stay in shape,” Waller said. “The staff at the JCC is very supportive, always asking me about my progress. I’m a US diplomat and my family has lived overseas for seven years now and joining the JCC a few months ago has made us feel like we joined a community. The JCC culture is wonderful.”
