February 2026 BARC Distance Challenge Results
40 rowers logged 1480 kilometers in February, up from January where 1303k were logged. Blame the low numbers on the weather: Fog, wind and low water levels again made it difficult to get out. Anne Bertelsmann took 1st place in January, she logged 190k. Bob Jones took 2nd by logging 135k. Hannes Hofer and Nigel Millard shared 3rd place with 91K. Peter Christie took 4th place with 81k, and Darian Jones and Emily Franco shared 5th place with 61K.
The top 5 for 2026 are:
1. Anne Bertelsmann 336K
2. Bob Jones 282K
3. Hannes Hofer 171K
3. Nigel Millard 171k
4. Peter Christie 153K
5. Darian Jones 112k

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.
