SkiErg World Sprints

We participated in the SkiErg World Sprints last weekend - this was an event organized by Concept2 to promote the new erg. Skiers all around the world did a 1k sprint time trial on the erg and sent in their times for comparison. A 1k double pole sprint with no terrain variation or rest is pretty nasty - people were wrecked by the end of the test. Our skiers put up some respectable times, though. Not sure if the current list of times is complete, but right now Emma and Jeff are both in the top 10 overall. Pretty solid considering how many good skiers did the test. Current results at the link.

Niko and Jeff - dueling ergs. Watching a side-by-side erg race is actually pretty cool.
