Vero Beach Rowing is EVERYTING to me. I have made life-long friends, developed strength and discipline, and get to row six days a week on our beautiful Indian River.
To show you just how committed I am to this sport, I am participating in two back to back rowing challenges! On October 27th from 12:00 noon to October 28th from 12:00 noon our entire Youth Rowing Team, will be locked into the Orchid Island Cross Fit gym and we will row on ergs - (indoor rowing machines) for 24 straight hours!! This is our team's 2018 Ergathon - 24Hours for 24K! The very next weekend I will be taking part in a joint exercise with US Navy Seals. Wewill divide into four teams to complete a 22,000-meter erg relay, a run through the Navy Seal obstacle course (led by two active Navy Seals), and then run the Muster 5k. Our coaches call this event the "BearCage".
In return for your support, I will be giving you my blood, sweat and tears! I’ll keep going because of the commitment I’m making to the club, my teammates, myself and to you!
I am so thankful for the support Vero Beach has shown to my team and I promise to make Vero Beach proud!
