January Challenge: Final Days ...
Row Some Extra Meters for the Team!!

Each of us rowing an extra 1000 meters on each of the last 3 days would be an additional 1 million meters for Team CRI...

With four days remaining in the January Challenge, we have rowed more than 30 million meters. If we rowed west from CRI along latitude 42, we would have circled the earth, passed CRI and rowed to Albany! 

We are now in 3rd place overall, just behind the LUNA-TICS, and first place among the on-the-water boat clubs. We need a STRONG finish so we can surpass these LUNA-TICS!!

Reportedly, a few of our members will be finishing the challenge by rowing 100,000 meters on Friday, the last day of the challenge. Join them on an erg or by cheering them on!  We are into the sprint to the finish line. GO CRI!

If we each take an extra five minutes and row an extra 1000 meters on each of the next 3 days, that would be an additional 1 million meters.

Reminder
 Please take a minute to log all the meters that you have rowed, it all adds up and we need
them all!!
