I got a CHUMS T-shirt!
I participated in the indoor loading competition held on February 4.
Indoor rowing is "indoor" + "rolling" = "rowing indoors".
Recently, the first tournament in Japan was held in which participants from all over Japan participate in the rowing race by connecting the rolling ergometer (rowing machine) used by baseball players for training to the Internet.
This year's tournament participation prize is "CHUMS" T-shirt!
The back print designed for this time was cool and I was happy to be able to participate.
Virtual indoor rolling
For a detailed explanation, please see the special page of the Japan Rowing Association "2023 Virtual Indoor Rowing Tournament".
This tournament, hosted by the Japan Rowing Association, was able to realize an attempt different from the actual race on the water.
The great attraction of virtual is that up to 30 people can participate in the race per race. Moreover, it's perfect borderless!
People who wanted to participate participated participated in rolling races in various parts of Japan and shared the same time without considering any gender, age, physical function disorders, or presence or absence of competition experience.
Providing a borderless place is often discussed in all fields, but I think it has not been realized.
This tournament, which allows each player and team to aim for the goal by rowing the same distance at the same time while participating in the target time and destination as individual goals, will continue to be held regularly and the number of participants will increase I hope you go.
Plum blossoms have bloomed in Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine!
On the day of this article creation (February 9), plum blossoms bloomed in the precincts of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.
As introduced in the program of Chuo FM, looking up at the branches that spread overhead from under a large tree, I think that the scenery where you can see a slightly distant high-rise tower is like our town Chuo-ku.
At this time of next year, I will tell you if you are participating in a virtual indoor rolling tournament from Chuo-ku, or when the plum blossoms bloom again.
When the plums bloom, we can't wait for the cherry blossoms and magnolia to bloom. It is recommended that you look up at the branches from the buds!
