USIR Dev Squad: Training

Last Monday, 10/24/05 I did a legit 6:33.2 2k trial as a 60-64 Male Hwt.<br /><br />I also did (legit) 6:38.1 on 10/10/05 and 6:35.2 on 10/17/05 on prior Mondays.<br /><br />I thought I had a good shot at 6:28 (1:37 pace) today (Monday) but that was too aggressive a step improvement for now.

USIR Dev Squad: Training

I just got to looking at it today after posting my erg work for the first half of July. I see I'm not doing anything like the suggestion -- I do weights every other day with 30-45 solid erg pieces on the other days.

USIR Dev Squad: Introductions

Hi all. I'm Jim Castellan and turned 60 a week after CRASH-Bs this year. Although a fairly good athlete, I never took a stroke until after my first year of grad school. I thought it would be something interesting to try. I eventually made the '76 Olympic team as sculling alternate when 31.<br /><br ...
