2k Race Today we had our 2k race. I was put into the slower heat because of my previous 2k time. 1st in Heat. 4th or 5th overall 6:51 2k time Kept a 1:43 the entire time with a little sprint. By the end of the race was 90m in front, but after the race I felt pretty good, way too much energy. My goal...

They went OK. He told us to do the first 4 500m at 2k Pace and the Last 2 all out with 4min centers (About a 2:15 Break) 1st: 1:40 2nd 1:41 3rd 1:42 4th 1:41 5th 1:40 6th 1:39 After this workout I feel pretty good on getting close to a 6:45 this weekend. It was great to finally be rowing on the wate...

Yea I don't know when that 6k took place probably when I first got the erg. The 5k is also from a couple years ago. The most recent is the 10k which I did last April.

I would like to do more metered pieces, but with time restraints and numer of ergs we often do timed pieces, usually 20-30mins.

Well today we did 500m sprints and it felt great to have some of the rhythm back. We only got in 3, becasue of time restraints, and a 300m piece. 1st 1:35.5 2nd 1:35.1 3rd 1:35.8 300m 53.3sec I probably could of gotten lower, but I was expecting us to at least 7. I would probably agree that a 6:45 b...

I have been out of rowing for the past couple of months for wrestling. In my second week back we had our first 2k test. On the 5th time erging I got a 7:05.1, hopefully it is just the lack of erging that is hurting me. This Sunday, I am planning on participating in the USRowing Junior ID camp. I don...

Last spring during the Junior year of High School, our team had a great year compared to where we started our novice year. We ended up taking two 3rd place finishes at the Midwest Scholastic Championships, in the JV 4+ and the JV 8+ Our 2k times for the 8 were between 6:45 and 7:10, with 6 of the 8 ...

I have been rowing for 3 years, and one of the biggest problems with my stroke is that instead of using my finger tips, I use my wrist which with doing so I can't tap down as much as needed. I have tried using finger tips but to me it seems to make a bigger problem then it fixes. Any help would be w...

About a week ago our team finished its Crew season. We had a great year, placing at all of our regattas and qualifying for Nationals (did not attend). I never felt really soar during the season. Once tour season ended and I took a week off from rowing to recover, my legs started to get sore, not the...

can own the dream. When the work stops, the dream disappears."

yes, I'm talking about on the water Rowing, but I thought you could help me. My crew and I are looking for a rowing camp/Program to go to, most of the registration for camps have ended and we can't seem to find any. Any camp type will do, Sculling, Sweep, Week long, Summer long Program We are all in...

I am looking for any Rowing Camps/Programs. Location is ideal if in the Midwest but I know the best camps are in the Northeast. A group of guys from my team, want to go to a month long program to improve on our techninque and power. We recently placed 3rd at Midwest Scholastic Chamionships in both t...

Just did a 10K Very pleased with the outcome

Had a Goal of getting a sub 2:00 split

Actually came out with a 1:58 split (Old PB 41:51)
Total Time = 39:24

Next Stop Sub 38:30

Hopefully this will show on my next 2k

My 2k Was an All out piece, The 5k wasn't. But i agree with you that my endurance is what is holding me back.


UPDATE: Just did a 2k 7:04 still need to do a 5k
