Winters are hard, but this winter will be harder. Here are some tips and resources! We are isolated, many of us without our regular gym equipment, and now the days are getting shorter and gloomier. So how can we tackle this? @mercantile_rc put together this fantastic graphic with TIPS FOR TRAINING IN ISOLATION. We also want to add a subsection to #3 Accountability. When you reach out to teammates to motivate each other, don’t forget to also ask how they’re doing. Setting ...up FaceTimes or having a group chat going... any opportunity to safely socialize is going to be more important than ever. Another great free mental health resource offered to Canadian’s: Text COVID to 741741 to connect with a trained volunteer crisis responder for support. #rowing #rowinglife #rowingrelated #row2k #rowingcanada #ottawarowingclub #canadarowing #ottawa #ottawacanada #watersports #ottawariver #athletetraining #fluidesign #fluidesignsingle #boatlifeisthebestlife #rowingworkout #crewlife #rudern #roeien #betterbackwards See more

And that’s a wrap folks! The docks came out this morning which means our on water season is officially done. Looking back on the summer of 2020, we are incredibly fortunate for the quantity of rowing we were able to support all things considering. Thank you to all our coaches, volunteers, the club executive, and the rowers themselves for being so adaptable to all the programming changes and new procedures at the club this season, you made rowing in 2020 possible. An extra sp...ecial thanks to our COVID medical lead Dr. Christina Fernandez for all her support and guidance in navigating the choppy water this season with all things pandemic related. We hope everyone enjoyed their rowing experience this summer and we look forward to having everyone back on the water next spring. Good luck to everyone with their winter training over the next few months! Stay safe, stay healthy this winter, and check in on your crewmates every once in a while to make sure we stay connected during this challenging time.
