Zo organiseer je een virtueel roei-evenement in jouw sportschool
De zomer loopt op zijn einde, de dagen worden korter en je leden komen straks weer vaker binnen trainen. Slim als je nu al nadenkt over hoe je ze de hele winter betrokken houdt. Brock Sampson, roeicoach op Terschelling, liet vorig seizoen zien hoe dat kan, met een virtueel roei-evenement dat sloeproeiers, beginners en recreanten samenbracht in één competitie.

For those who haven’t discovered it yet, the Concept2 Online Ranking is a very large and constantly growing database of best times for twelve different distance/time pieces on the RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg. Its thousands of entries from users around the world can be readily sorted by event, age group, gender, weight class, country, state, adaptive category and more. The online ranking can be a very useful resource and training tool, even if you never choose to post a PR and rank yourself. 
A virtual rowing class can give your training a boost with the camaraderie of rowing along with others, the coordination of music to your strokes, and the encouragement of a trainer. Working out at home on your own RowErg gives you flexibility to schedule in your class, even on the busiest of days.

We’ll ski until the snow is gone, but we’ll also start running and riding our bikes on good days—and we’ll jump on the RowErg, SkiErg or BikeErg when the weather is just nasty. What’s the best way to balance indoor and outdoor exercise so that you can take advantage of the weather?
