Mark Lodmill is a competitive on-water rower.  Please read his note below:

“This weekend I raced at US Rowing’s NW Regional Regatta in Lake Stevens Washington.  This was a big 3-day event with over 900 entries from the West coast of the US and Western Canada.   I came home with 3 more medals to add to the stack, 2 Golds and 1 Bronze.  We won the mixed (men and women racing together) 2x (two person sculling boat) and mixed 4x (four person sculling boat).  I was third in the single person men’s boat, which wasn’t bad for borrowing a boat that I wasn’t familiar with in bad water (I learned a lesson there).

I know that crossfit has given me greater strength and stamina, as well as a better power/weight ratio, which is crucial in the boat.  This is the first time I’ve seen my parents and siblings since I started Crossfit and they all commented  that I looked leaner and stronger.”
