- Hey.
Guess what?
We got another challenge.
You want in?
Check it out.
(heavy beat music)
What's up guys, and welcome back
to another Dark Horse weekly challenge.
This week's challenge is in honor
of my good friend John Healy, the British man himself.
You're like the only British guy
I know - that's fine. I can do that.
- So you take that title?
- As you can see, he's wearing a GB shirt.
If you guys haven't seen our other videos,
give us a quick bio, give us a one sentence bio.
- Guys, so I run what's called the Go Row training scheme
by GB Rowing, and encouraging guys to get in
and get active on the rowers.
And so very much in conjunction, obviously,
what Shane promises and what Shane promotes to us as well.
But this week, we've got a little special challenge for you.
- So we are here, I guess we're close to Liverpool right now
and we were in Manchester earlier in the day,
and it just felt right to run the challenge
based off of this, which is, in conjunction
with what's called the Power8 Sprints.
- Power8 Sprints, correct.
- Which is, correct me if I'm wrong, but seems
to be about kind of spreading the exposure of rowing.
- That's the one. - Right?
Doing something just different, fun, exciting, fast-paced,
and people don't really understand rowing,
because often, it's very traditional,
and so this is breaking out of that mold.
- 100%, yeah.
- And so, the challenge this week
is going to be a 350 meter row, but not for time.
- No. - Right?
- We know the distance.
- We want you guys to get as many people involved
with this as you possibly can.
So not just you, we appreciate you lovely rowers,
but we want to get as many people involved
with this as we possibly can.
Shane's gonna post a link down below, entry into this.
There is a team kit on offer from GB Rowing,
so we can get you guys kit to do it with us.
- Oh, yeah!
If you guys want, he sent me one of these shirts,
unfortunately, I didn't bring it with me on this trip,
I don't know what I was thinking not bringing it to the UK.
However, that is your goal, that's your challenge.
How many people can you get to row 350 meters with you?
Because the objective on this one really is
just spread the good word of being on this machine.
If you guys love this, then you should want to
share this with people, and that's all this is about.
Again, it's not for time, just can you get
a bunch of people together to row 350 meters total.
That's it, not hard.
- You in now?
- Yeah, yeah, actually let's do it, that's a great idea.
Okay, we're gonna go hit it, join us.
- See you guys in a bit.
- Make sure that you tag us over
on Instagram @darkhorserowing
and who should they tag... - GB Rowing

that's where we host the challenge.

and that's where we kind of live with this challenge stuff,
it's over on Instagram @darkhorserowing, @gbrowing,
go check them out and have some fun with this one.
Get as many people as you can.
I am personally gonna be watching to see who can
get like 100 people lined up to do this 350
on like five machines, 'cause that's all they've got.
Just lines of people rolling through 350 meters.
Let's go do it. - Do it.
Cool.
Okay guys, so just bare in mind
you need those 350 meters set across the top,
set your machine, get yourself comfortable,
it's only a short one, focus on that technique.
(heavy beat music)
(rowing machine)
- Oh!
(laughter)
Yeah!
I tied it.
- Done! - 140.7.
Two times through. - Perfect.
