Holiday Challenge....woohoo! I'm dreaming of a 100 MM team season.......(some say I'm dreaming alright!) Rockin and rowin' through the holiday season...or at least the November 26 thru December 24th part of it!
29 days to travel 50K (Kids Club), 100K or 200K during the Holiday Challenge!
Whoa...this can look pretty intimidating if it's your first challenge!
If you're just getting started with your personal season's meters, as some who use indoor rowing as a cross-training exercise are, start slow and row some every day, or 6 out of 7 days if you would like to take a day to do something different. There's no question that this will take a chunk of personal time....the payback is amazing, though! I wouldn't advocate the deadline driven approach --- save that for something else! I find that the best approach for me is to get out ahead of the curve, and earn yourself some free-from-rowing days that you can use to manage the inevitable unpredictability of the challenge season! We have a couple more days in this year's challenge, and that means an easier daily rowing schedule.
The Holiday Challenge: What It Takes To Get There - a little planning never hurts!
Season meters as of 207/365 = 57,852,367 m
