Hi everybody<br /><br />I did not do much erging the last time. I'm so fascinated by on water rowing that the erg cannot attract me enough when I have opportunities to do water training. I did some wonderful things. One of them was rowing through the narrow and cosy canals of Utrecht on a hot, nice ...

Good idea to start rowing. <br /><br />You're never too old to change your appearance!<br />And yes, your own C-2 is a nice present for yourself, but having it at home has one disadvantage: there are too many pleasant things around to distract you from using it!<br /><br />I have one in my living ro...

Today I did 10 km at the gym. Time 45.23 Not too well, since my quickest time ever at 10 km was below 43 minutes, but OK, I've had the flu and feeling the need to row means you get better. But heartrate was higher than normal. Grrrr I hate having the flu. Tomorrow watertraining again.<br />I love be...

Hi ladies...<br /><br />Thank you all for the compliments. It's so valuable to have contacts like this.

When you are new to the indoor rower you will experience a lot of pain at the butt. Your muscles are not adapted on the new movement from riding the seat. To get used this will take some time and then your butt is also more "in shape" because the muscles are stronger.<br /><br />In the meantime use ...

Rowing at night is really, really wonderful. You cannot see what you are doing, so you must pay more attention to what you hear and feel. Rowing at night brings unity in the boat! You have to listen and feel your rowing mates.<br /><br />At our rowingclub we also have to exercise with closed eyes du...

"estafettestyle" is maybe a non existing word in English, but I wanted to tell that several rowingcrews follow each other to do the whole distance. In this case: four crews doing approx 60 km each, one crew afther the other. The goal: bringing the boat home as soon as possible. The total distance wa...

It's Friday, about 12 hours before I have to start rowing the 60 km. I can't sleep from excitement. Thank you all for the encouragement.<br />After that, no rest. Just enough time to wash the sweat out of my rowingsuit and have it dried. Another match coming up, but that's a sprint. I'll see. If I'm...
