I kind of want to go, but I am only 15yrs old, 65kg, and my best 2k is a 7:35. Keep in mind that I pulled that last year. I am pretty sure I could do better now.

I say go. Just to see what it is all about. <br><br>The second time ( next year ) you will perform better because you know what to expect.

Don't worry about times when going. Look at it as a chance to see some really great athletes pull and learn how they approach the piece. That's the best thing to take away from it. Now having said that, I would also say for anyone going; do you want to spend the time necessary to travel to Boston to pull a 2k that could be done at home? From the pov of getting to watch elite and pre-elite level athletes, its very cool. From the expense and amount of time pov, stay home. Ultimately up to you though, if you will enjoy it then go for it.

When and were will be the next Crash-b's?<br>Want to know if can plan a vacation for the ocasion.

I erged for the first time last November at my local Gold's gym, and compteted at the Crash-B's in February, just 3 months after starting. Was I ready? No. Did I have fun, get energized, and motivated? Absolutely! Go for it, it's a fun day as competitior or spectator.<br><br>Hank Greenblatt

The first two times I went to the CRASH-Bs, I got my posterior handed to me by nearly every other competitor. While my scores were nowhere near hammer-worthy, to be rowing in a world-class competition with some of the best in the world was a high second to none.<br><br>I don't expect to be finishing that well overall this year, but this year I'm concentrating on achieving new personal bests during competition, which I will hopefully achieve for this year.
