Thursday, March
17, 2005
1887 Boat House, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ
The Carnegie Lake Rowing Association
will hold its eighteenth annual erg race at the boathouse on Thursday,
March 17. The race distance will be 2000 meters. All 2005 club
members, including our 2005 novices, are eligible and encouraged to
participate in this friendly, in-house competition. All entries
are subject to fitness qualification approval by the coaching staff; ask
if you're unsure. This race will provide all members with an
opportunity to realize some winter training goals, receive a great
workout, race against friends and have a good time.
The format will be different this
year. All men will row together and then all women will row together,
followed by the team relay race. Medals will be awarded to
first-place finishers in the following men's and women's individual
events: Open, Lightweight, Masters Open, Masters Lightweight and
Coxswains. Lightweight for men is 165 lbs. or less; for women it is 135
lbs. or less. Masters Open and Masters Lightweight will be divided by
age categories: 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+. There must be at least 2
entries per event in order for a medal to be awarded.
A Team Relay Race will be the
highlight of the night! Depending on the number of participants, teams
of 4 or 5 are created after all the individual races are completed.
Teams are kept as even as possible as they are based on the
results of individual events. Each member will row 500 meters and the
best overall team time is awarded medals. Team Relay Race participants
must complete an individual race to be eligible for a relay team.
