The Concept2 virtual team challenge, World Erg Challenge, is ten-days old and I've only clocked 24,607 meters so far--but I am still mid-pack in the Potomac Boat Club.

Like I proposed yesterday, I will try to spend a lot more time at the Potomac Boat Club boathouse in DC and I propose to get there and back on my Surly Steamroller. 

At the end of the day, I want to scull on the Potomac every day in a single shell. Since I've been a member of the Potomac Boat Club, I've never been light enough to get into a boat.

If you can't make a date with some sexy someone you love from September 15 through October 15 then they could either be in rehab or they could be fully committed to Concept2's yearly virtual team challenge, the Fall Team Challenge. Plan accordingly.

After I received some historical information about my local rowing club, the historical Potomac Boat Club (PBC) I wanted to learn more about my club (I'm a Senior Member) and I found this on the site. Enjoy!

The Potomac Boat Club is a rowing club on the Potomac River in Washington, DC. It was established in 1859, originally as the Potomac Barge Club. The club provides a rowing hub for around 300 senior members, ranging in ability from recreational rowers to professional athletes.

The Potomac Boat Club (PBC) has an online virtual team, called an affiliation team, on the Concept2 Logbook. Here are the current rankings—Affiliation Standings—of the members of the online virtual team and members who are affiliated with the on-water boat club.

While I started slowly, I committed to the entire challenge. I ended up being 13th in my boat and 2,573rd overall.

I had another sinus headache from just not staying hydrated enough overnight again so I didn't really start rowing until late--almost 8 PM. Then, I only got in 7,733 meters.

Since September the 15th, I have rowed 32,213 meters towards the 200,000 meters I want to complete by October the 15th for the Fall Team Challenge that Concept2 hosts every year. Here are the last couple of days since my last report.
