Hi guys, just wanted to say thanks EVER so much for your help. I did my 2k trial this morning and got the following results:<br /><br />2000m = 8:32.4<br />Splits: 2:09.6; 2:10.5; 2:09.6; 2:02.8<br /><br />I know the splits are slower than what people suggested, but I woke up this morning with an ac...

thanks guys. I think one of my other problems is I have NO idea how to pace myself over the 2k, nor what sort of splits I should be capable of pulling. My best 500m time is 1:54, my best 1k is 4:04 and I somehow got 8:27 when we did out last 2k tests. From the 500m/1Km result, what sort of splits sh...

I've been on holiday from University for 5.5weeks and have only erged twice properly during the holidays as I've been spending the time frantically revising for my exams! Anyways, we have 2k trials when I go back (this Saturday) for crew selection. I'm fairly confident that my seat in my crew is saf...

The Xeno Muller vidoe interests me immensly. I'm only a Novice rower and have been taught that my hands must be quick and my arms fully extended (and with body lean) before my knees even break, yet if you look at 26% through the recovery his knees are breaking and his hands aren't past them yet! I a...

Thanks guys. I wasn't necessarily worrying too much about what food would give me the best race, but rather what foods would help me recover from pre-race exhaustion, thus making me feel better to race....if that makes sense! I had a large breakfast today and a jacket potato at lunch and have crew t...

Hey, I have a 4day bumps regatta starting tomorrow afternoon that could involve us rowing 2k every single day (that's a long way for a novice like me!!!) and since we've been training so hard this last week I'm feeling quite weary and exhausted (5outings in 3days, and 4 consecutive early mornings!!!...

Thanks for yet more replies <br /><br />Trying to deal with them roughly in order:<br /><br />1. I've tried making sure that when I warm-up on the erg before out sessions I row without straps. I personally do find this helps as with the first couple of strokes I always nearly fly off the erg backwar...

Finally someone who seems to have the same symptoms I had years ago. Many years ago I fell off my horse and landed akwardly on my wrist. They thoguht I'd broken it as I was in terribly agony but x-rays showed no breaks, so it was stapped up and I was told to rest it for about 2wks. 6weeks later I se...

Thanks guys for all the tips. Firstly, I don't think the drag is too much of a problem; it was set around 130 when I did the 500m sprints and all Christmas I'd been using a drag of only 100 (the poor machine was very old and that was the max you could get!). Also, realistically my rating wasn't part...

Hi, all last term as Novice rower my erg moved backwards along the wooden floor whilst I rowed (500/750/1K) no matter what I did! In the end I use to have to have large weights put behind the ergs and have several people standing behind me stopping it moving. All Xmas I worked hard on my technique (...

Lol - I hadn't realised that!<br /><br />Actually it's because I'm also an incrediably keen horse-rider!
