This morning the cooee crossfit crew got the chance to test our rowing skills. UWA hosted the fundraising event 'row to africa', which is raising money to build an epicenter in Africa that permanently ends hunger and poverty for a community of over 10,000. We collectively rowed 109km between the six of us (some more than others..andy) and had a blast doing it!
Of course, being the competitive crossfiters we are..we challenged a few other teams to a 500m race. This would come back to kick us in the arse as we finished last (not so bad considering its our first exposure to competitive rowing) maybe if we threw in some kb swings and pushups shit would get interesting!
I set a pr of 3:35 for 1km row, a time im looking forward to smashing once we get a few C2 rowers in our box.
Overall a great morning workout for a great cause. If you would like to donate, you can transfer funds to:
National Australia Bank The Hunger Project Relief Fund
BSB 083347
ACC 655745601
otherwise get involved and do some rowing for yourself, get your friends and family to sponsor you and get fit for a good cause!
