NEREID NEWS

January 21, 2010

ALIVE AND ERGING IN 2010
Get this! Nereid is currently 6th in the world among boat clubs competing in Concept2's January Virtual Challenge. (Last year we came in 54th.)

But we'd like to do even better -- join us!

The annual challenge is a great way to work out and also raise money for charity. Sign up before January 31 and add your kilometers to the team total.

Here's how:
Go to the Concept2 Online Logbook
If you don't have an online logbook, sign up.
Go to the Teams link Click Join Team and select Team Nereid.
Go to the "Team Challenge" sections and confirm your participation in the January Virtual Challenge 2010 that starts in January.
Each time you row on the erg or on the water, log your meters in your online logbook. They will automatically count toward Team Nereid's totals.

YEAR-END APPEAL
Our year-end appeal earned the club close to $1,500 -- just enough to make it possible for us add a nice 2x to our fleet.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

If you didn't participate and still want to, please mail a check to the club at your earliest convenience. Every $35 counts, and your donation will be tax-deductible for 2010.
Sincere thanks to all those who donated in 2009; a formal acknowledgment is on the way.

NEED NEREID GEAR?
The club preparing an order for new gear from JL and Boathouse Sports. Items to be ordered include:
Gore Tex jacket for $165
Supplex weathershirt jacket for $115
Headsweat hat for $29
JL long sleeve drywick techshirt for $49
For an additional $5, you can get your name (in one line) on the jacket, either on the sleeve or chest. This is a good way to avoid mix-ups and lost jackets. To place an order, please contact Claire at clairelesley@aol.com ASAP.

The JL Tech Shirt is the mid weight Drywick. Long sleeve with a low t-Neck. Really comfy. In Forest Green with a wide white stripe down both sleeves from the neck. It has a 3"+ embroibered custom Nereid Crest in the center of the chest, in White. That is the circle rope Logo with the trident and the oars. It is on the Uni's, but with a thick white backing. The shirt is White thread directly on the green. More striking and softer. This works as a uniform layer under or over the uni, or alone with a black bottom. I have one that is 10 years old and still looks great. Custom order gear. This is not standard color, but the JL Racing website has others to look at and size measurements as well.

The hat is the white headsweats race cap. It is mesh baseball style and the most comfortable high tech we know of. Also in the JL Websight. It will have a Nereid Log embroidered on the front as well as Nereid boatclub on the back. I like mine because it is never hot, ponytail and laundry friendly, and keeps the little annoying hairs out of my face. Way more comfortable than a headband. It is stretchy and light.

KARMIC CROSS-TRAINING
There's a new book out called Yoga for Rowers. Learn more about it here.
