Second Annual IRC Half Marathon
August 6th
Ever wanted to row a 1/2 marathon but didn't know where to start? All you have to do is zero your SpeedCoach and row. Follow the traffic patterns at all times and once you are at 21,098m, you’re done! CONGRATS! This is a great opportunity to practice race line-ups, drills, spending a couple of hours with your best rowing friends, and knocking out some meters. SpeedCoaches will be available to borrow.
We anticipate having Masters row at 7 am, and Juniors/Collegiate to follow as equipment and SpeedCoaches will have to be shared.
After the row will be a pitch-in lunch. If your last name begins with the letters A-H bring a main dish and letters I-Z bring a side, drink, or dessert (don’t forget your chair.)
Masters please submit lineups and boat preferences to Colleen Pavlicek. Juniors/Collegiate please submit to Nich Holston. If you are willing to drive a safety launch that morning, please let one of us know and all general questions directed to Michael Sapper
This event is an informal competition, with only bragging rights at stake; however, it will feature some informal post row awards:
Pavlicek Award: best rower dressed for visibility
Holston Award: row 500 meters on the square and you’re eligible
And a few more to be named later…..
