Olympian coming to 'Athlete

Three-time Olympian and gold medalist in rowing (and aspiring chef), Bryan Volpenhein, is coming to Market Street Athlete this Staurday, December 5th, from 6:00-8:00 pm. Bryan will be hear to talk about training, endurance, and going the distance. He would also like to have an informal Q&A session, so bring your questions. And to keep things exciting, Bryan is going to bring his "erg" to demonstrate proper rowing technique and form.

Carmel Zahran, one of our sales associates, staff rower, and Olympic hopeful, is going to bring her erg as well, and it sounds like she's planning to host erg races, with prizes going to the fastest times. Here's your shot at competing with Olympians! We'll have footage of Bryan competing in medal winning races, and his medals will be on display. So, bring the family and come on down to 'Athlete on Saturday night, it will be a great opportunity to meet and talk with an Olympian. Light fare and beverages will be served.
