I am 17 years old, 71kg, 5'11, and I row for St. Catharines Rowing Club.<br /><br />Here are some of my PB'S:<br /><br />2km - 6:41.8 (1:40.4 split)<br />6km - 21:23.1 (1:46.9 split)<br />20km - 75:00.0 (1:52.5 split)<br /><br />See all of you seniors at Stotes and Schoolboy!

My strength has always been endurance, since I am a lightweight, but when I entered grade 12 this year, and my crew had even higher expectations and goals, I needed to build my aerobic base so as to increase my performance. My pb for 6km in grade 11 was 21:56, and I was so happy to beat 22 minutes. ...

I had an ok erg two weeks ago at a competition (it was only 1 second off my pb, and i was expecting that since i was sore from training the previous day). So then i trained extremely hard with my crew, not overtraining mind you, but training to the point where we knew that we had to be getting bette...

You two are right, your arms should be perpendicular to the handle. They should be shoulder width apart.

I'm going, and so is my school's entire team, and so are all of the other niagara school's team's.<br /><br />good luck to all

it lets you push yourself more than anyother sport, and it shows you how strong and tough you are<br /><br />and by the way easyoars, by low impact he means that it doesn't put a high amount of impact or strain on the joints (for example the way running does on knees).<br />

i am 17, in grade 11 and have got a 6:49 2k, and a 22:25 6k i am hopin that since i have 2 years left, and since my crew is going after stotes this year, i will have a good chance i hope that other lightweights will show heavyweights that they aren't that much better

oh i thank you i see what you mean by my natural weight janice i might have had some internal change in my body. i will definatly look into the situation, by taking a body fat % test. <br /><br />and by the way steve i am 5 foot eleven and a strict diet to me is just not eating candy and stuff like ...

i find it real hard to keep on a strict diet nowadays....im 17, in grade 11 and i am a lightweight (well...i try to be). I am about 170 right now, wich is obviously 5 lbs above the lightweight cut-off. Last years school season i was about 150 lbs throughout the entire season and during the intense s...

u have good 5k and 10k splits for a newcomer, and i think you are just expecting too much at once. remember that a lot of us rowers have been rowing for a few years, and some of us much longer. you are definatley fit, and you also have great running times. just wait for your times to come down, that...
