That overcompression will cause you to initiate your drive with your quads - it will catch up with you (with an unpleasant lactic event). When you lose contact with your heels you lose power transfer - not the end of the world - just a world where your quads hurt and your times are effected. Be sure...

I will be watching this as well... if they race the 500M there, and if I can improve my time 5 seconds, i'll race it.

I can't row with the BIG BOYS in the 2K, but the 500M... different story.

There aren’t many 100K pins out there...it’s a club I am proud to be part of!

Thanks... that's a good visual.

OK... I managed to pull a 7:11.2 this year, a PB and a NICE move from last years race times! Sub 7:00 is looking better all the time. I want to get some input on some things so I can work on a conditioning program. I have heard that the stroke is 60% legs, 30% back, 10% arms- has that been everyone'...

I sure wish there were more races in the Southern US... there seem to be more 'up north', likely due to a longer winter.

Just thinking out loud.

The world record for us 50-59HWT's is 279,242... 2:34.7 pace (including breaks). It's not as simple as it sounds... the first 4 hours was going great, I was like HELL YEAH - 2 hours later I was like, THIS ISN'T GOOD. 70K isn't the 280K I wanted. Next time i'll be a little better prepared for the cal...

I wanted to go for 24 hours... actually wanted to set the world record. I was ahead of the pace after 4 hours, by the 6th I was 6 seconds behind.

…

Wasn't going to be able to make that up... stopped at 70K.

Sadly, I was not prepared effectively … woof.

Something... muscle milk, or a protein supplement....NOT BARS! To dry, to chewy.

What an upsetting day.

Well I learned something today my rowing peers... DRINKABLE protein.

Hit the wall pretty hard today - sadly.

Hello all... can I get some help on some analytics?

I just rowed a piece at 128 drag, 22 SPM, for 1,348 strokes... an hour of rowing at 11,655.

If I lower the drag, and hold the SPM at 22... how can the total distance be effected?

Is there a relationship between all these things?

I was back to training pieces in 4 days. Feel great!

I did get one of those cushions from Amazon, works like a charm! HIGHLY recommended for distance pieces!

I use the ERGDATA app on my phone... it connects to the PM5 wirelessly and won't allow it to go to sleep. To set it up I just went to a single interval of 100,000m and away I went. Started at 6am. Took my first break at 50K ish, my hip starting hurting pretty bad actually (stretch some, bathroom, re...
