December 2025 BARC Distance Challenge Results
40 rowers logged 2227 kilometers in December, down from November, where 2494 kilometers were logged. One would've thought that all the extra k's during the 100k challenge would have upped the count, but I guess the many foggy mornings last month are to blame for the decline. Anne Bertelsmann once again managed to capture the crown for the month; she logged 232 kilometers, Bob Jones logged 200k for 2nd place. Peter Christie took 3rd place with 132k. Hannes Hofer (me) was 4th with 115k. Juan Hernandez rounded up the top 5 with 101k. This gave him just enough kilometers to get him over the 1000k mark for the year. A total of 28701 kilometers were logged in 2025, 429k less than what was logged in 2024.
The top 5 for 2025 are:
1. Bob Jones 2635K
2. Anne Bertelsmann 2327K
3. Peter Christie 1425K
4. Hannes Hofer 264K
5. Darian Jones 1237K

Starting in 2006, BARC rowers have recorded their rowing outings and distances, first in a paper ledger at the boathouse, and later in the boathouse computer. The entered distances are being used for a friendly competition; those who row the greatest distance (e.g., Top 5) are recognized on a monthly basis, by way of posts to this section of our website. On an annual basis, those rowers who row one million (or more) meters (1000+ kilometers or 621+ miles) over the past year are recognized and awarded a BARC Distance Challenge Award, typically at our annual meeting. The awards vary by year, from plaques to BARC-inscribed beer mugs! All results, for all years, are available below.

BARC used to frequently publish newletters. Before the internet and Social Media, this was the method with which the Club communicated with its members. Below, you can view archived StrokeWatch newsletters from December 1993 through 2009, and a brief revival in 2015.
