Capital Carolina Erg Sprints
The 1st Annual Capital Carolina Erg Sprints will be held on February 9, 2008 inside of Gold's Gym of Cary, NC. The Capital Carolina Sprints was created in response to the growing popularity of rowing in the Triangle, NC area. The event was made possible by the opening of the "Rowing Fitness Center" located within Gold's Gym of Cary, NC. The "Rowing Fitness Center" is the first indoor rowing facility of its kind in the Carolinas.
