Let’s Row – Friday Night Rowing and a Movie
Written by C.J. Martin
This Friday night at 7:00 p.m. we will be gathering at USD’s training facility for rowing and a movie. This is going to be a ton of fun, and a great opportunity for all of us to row some serious meters while hanging out with our favorite Invictus peeps. The facility has more than 20 ergs (the fancy name for the Concept 2 rower thing), and a big screen projector. That means we can get at least 40 folks in to provide some breaks for those of us who don’t have a derriere prepared to sit on an erg for two hours.
This will be a family-friendly environment, so children are allowed to come and hang out as well. I will bring some snacks and a few chairs (to be used while your rowing partners are giving you a break from the erg), but I encourage you to bring a chair and any food that you can’t live without while you’re watching a movie (certain stud athletes here have been seen putting away a jumbo popcorn, licorice sticks and soda – but I will not be responsible for supplying those items). And most importantly, we need to decide on a movie. Please post your suggestions to comments.
Please email info@crossfitinvictus.com or sign up on the whiteboard if you will be able to make it out for this rowing extravaganza. Or, just show up if you’re on the fence and don’t want to commit. We want a huge crowd, so we hope to see you all there. Here are directions from downtown:
- Take I-5 North to the I-8 East exit.
- Immediately exit onto Morena Blvd.
- Steer right as Morena splits into Linda Vista Avenue (immediately after you pass under the I-5).
- Continue on Linda Vista through 4 stop lights and take your first available left into USD after the 4th light.
- Park next to the pool entrance, walk into the sports center basketball court, and go to the far west side of the building and you will see signs that say Invictus Rowing Extravaganza.
There are tumbling mats for the kids, and stationary bikes for those who can’t row.
What time should we be there?
***Fall Rowing Challenge – UPDATE***

I found this website that has some good (older) titles. I vote for Rocky! We can make crude jokes when he beats the meat, and the kids that are there won’t get it! Win, win.

I updated the post, but everyone should be at USD around 7:00 p.m. I hope to see you all there!
CJ for a second there I thought you were calling me out…but I only eat a small popcorn, box of milk duds and large coke…so it can’t be me.
So keys to eating paleo on a camping trip. Tuna packet, nuts, and dried fruit. 20 rep squat not making hiking with a 60 lb pack uphill any easier!
Wish I was able to join you for the rowing/movie night. Sounds like yet another wonderful Invictus outing. Got another few meters in for the team as well as hit up the wod. 6:53 and 135# for the press
PS is that a Goal board in back of Miss Johnson? Send me a shot of that so I can encourage everyone from a distance.
