***Fall Rowing Challenge – Update***
1. I have been sick the last few days so I haven’t been updating the blog.
2. Our team has been unbelievable…more stats tomorrow.
3. Those people who are emailing me your rows…keep doing so. I am receiving them but can’t respond to them all.

We have at least 6 or 7 at 100k meters…more to come tomorrow. Sorry for the lack of updates.

Team Invictus – Great job on all the activities this weekend. It was awesome to see all the “GREEN” out there…there are some people I have NEVER seen

Tabitha – thanks for the props but I DID NOT come in 2nd place…there was a timing error that gave me an extra 5 minutes.

To be honest – that simple little 3 mile run was one of the toughest things I had done in recent times. Not sure if it was all the rowing, the lack of strength specific training, or what, but I was done 10 minutes into it. I was buried in the red zone within the first 5 minutes and couldn’t recover. I completely under estimated that run and kudos to everyone who participated.

Invictus rocked the Boot Camp Challenge; it was so much fun!!! Great job to everyone who came out in their green shirts to participate. I know we all had a blast and we definitely had the biggest group once again!

Also, big congrats to Adam for taking 2nd place in his individuals, the boys on Team Madrid for a 3rd place finish in their male team category and to my awesome running mates for our 4th place finish out of 100 mixed teams. Fantastic job
