pulled a 10' piece to sorta test myself.


managed a 1:57.9 avg. split


little over a week in, and noticing a big improvement already.

3000m@2.02.1split 22spm
10' cooldown


I'm seeing improvements everyday, today marks 7 days back rowing.


The biggest improvement I have seen is mentally, which was what used to be my weak point. Seems I have matured "mentally" thus far.

worked primarily on my technique


also did a 10min piece afterward. Again working on my technique.

2min @18s/m

Did a 4k today after warming up on the bicycle.


Only managed a 17.02 / 2.07.8split @ 24s/m


I did the "fly and die" method for the first 2k, the next 1k was horrible, and the last 500meters were decent.


Eventually wanting to get back on the water, I continued working on my Technique.

I can't wait to get back into the shape i was my senior year. I must find a boat to get back into, some of the best days.

But it only being my 2nd day back, i wanted to make sure i finished, because from my experience is that nothing is worse feeling than not completing a row. So i got on and set the pace bo...

Well, recently a few buddies and myself ventured through my computer archives and stumbled upon some old varsity rowing pictures from highschool. And man did it bring back memories. So I said what the heck, I'll do a 2k. Now, i'm no where near in shape. I haven't jumped on the C2 in almost 3 years, ...

I do on occasion force myself to do power/technicque workouts where I pull the same pace but at 19-20 SPM. I'm fascinated to read this. When I do long pieces I occasionally get back-ache between...

10:00 piece @ 2:01

didn't have much time for rowing on the erg today, but had to make sure i at least got onto the erg. For fear of never returning to it.

3k warm up


semi-easy 30min @ 2:08


been out of the sport for 5years.. looking forward to posting a lot on this topic

easy 30' piece @2:10

technique looks well, although it looks like you're cramped up in that corner a little bit.

well done! glad to see you are seeing progress in you first week already. 56k in 1week is quite a bit.. just don't burn yourself out too quick

i prefer closing my eyes and imagining i'm on the water works great for me
