RowBetter Boot CAMP

08/12/2023

Lots of new experiences and experiments coming your way soon! The more you can open your mind to new ideas, and new ways of doing things, the more objective you can be about what works and what doesn't--for your body and mind!-- when it comes to optimizing technique and training.

Hi Gang, T minus 4 weeks to RowBETTER!!! Just a reminder, we'll be doing some gentle "strength" training using your bodyweight so any medium-tension pushing and pulling you can do will be helpful. If you have a TRX strap (no need to buy one) you can do a couple sets of 20-30 pushups and squat rows. And don't forget 2-3 sets of 20-30 bodyweight squats. Also, if you plan on hiking while you're here, start putting some miles in on your feet now. And of course, keep up your Rowing because we'll be spending some quality time on the slides and dynamic at higher tempos than you're probably used to. Stay well and see you soon!!!😄

So happy to have discovered this little piece of Heaven on Earth 36 years ago. Can't wait to share Sun Valley and lots of training secrets with all of you!!!

Does this location, only two hours from Boise, have the world's largest supply of potatoes, lithium, natural gas, sugar beets, or natural gas?

Hi Gang, we're getting close to RowBETTER Change.And.Maximize.Performance!!! The weather here in Sun Valley has been absolutely perfect. Plan on a warm--but not hot--80 degrees with sunshine every day. We can jump in the river after training sessions to cool-off and reap all of the myriad benefits from cold water immersion. Keep doing your squats, high-rate rowing, and "pull ups" or TRX squat-row so your body is ready for lots of new exercises guaranteed to take you to a whole new level of fitness and performance. Cheers,
Bill & Naty

First trip up to Redfish Lake. I did a super fun ride on a gravel trail up to Stanley, while Naty circumnavigated the lake on a kayak. Can't wait to get everyone up there; hopefully Saturday afternoon, August 19th :)

Great job Chris, Kathy, and David for hammering out your 10k fun "workout." Having a pre-Camp baseline 2k and 10k is super important not only for objectively measuring your current technique and PowerEndurance, but also establishing appropriate splits for different workouts at Camp. Keep 'em coming👊

Hi Gang, everyone is on board except Joe from New Jersey but I spoke to him on the phone yesterday. He's in heavy regatta on-water race mode but he's all-in for Camp and will hopefully join this page. Friendly reminder to firm up lodging arrangements before everything gets booked. AND, please send me screen shots of your 2k and 10k hard workouts by end of next week. No big deal, just a solid effort that's representative of your fitness and technique right now. THEN, I'll start offering up small changes that will add up to big improvements over time. Have a great weekend everyone!👊🚣🔨

Greetings CrewMates, it looks like almost everyone has their lodging squared away at the Limelight Hotel, Tamarack, and Hotel Ketchum! If you haven't firmed up flight and lodging yet, now is the time before everything gets booked.
ps: Some crew mates can't seem to access this page, despite receiving invitation :(. Any suggestions or tricks for those who are on here? Thanks!
