We have the Open Gym times in the schedule, and as you can see there isn't a shortage of time where you can come rack up the meters. We will add open gym times where workous allow at the 5:30am time as we did last year. We'll announce those on a weekly basis and you can watch the schedule for open slots. Once you've paid the buy in fee, we'll activate you and you'll be able to sign in for Open Gym times. Please sign in to ensure that a rower is available to you.
The sign up board is up outside the office. If you're in, get your name on the board so you and everyone else knows you're committed.

Here's the cliff notes for you skimmers:
- Committ to 50k, 100k, or 200k meters
- Row that amount of meters between November 27th and December 24th
- Log your meters in the Concept2 logbook: http://log.concept2.com/log_start.asp?p=/log.asp (CPM is registered with Concept2 and you'll be able to set us as your gym during the account creation process)
- Concept2 donates $.02/1000m up to 100k and $.04 per kilometer past 100k to some awesome charities. Last year, the challenge paid $25k to last year's causes.
How CPM participates:
- You pay $30 flat fee to be in the challenge (to cover staff for open gym times)
- We recommend you set a baseline 5k time in the first week of the challenge
- We program workouts with a lot more rowing, and we set up lots of open gym times where people can come log some meters
- Row your commitment however you want (break it up daily (recommended) row it all in the last week (crazy!)
- Re-test your 5k time at the end of the challenge. You'll be flat out amazed.

Concept2 has an awesome training page on their site. If you're new to the rower don't worry. It's a very simple piece of equipment that is amazingly effective at taxing your system.
You'll be able to utilize a coach during open gym times to help you craft your technique. Just to get up to speed with the terminology and the concept, check out the following information.

And start getting ready. Stets wrote a great blog post about how to calculate what you need to row per day to stay on track. There are 26 days to get your meters in, so it's best to have some sort of plan :)
