In my opinion, take it for what you will, a used but in good condition Filippi double will be faster then the other American made double, might be a hot take but... As long as you have some one with the knowhow to take care of it. It'd probably be hard to find one but they are definitely worth it. M...

Wow 2:05.9 at 110 pounds is crazy!! You'll definitely be the same speed if not faster in terms of pure power to move the boat. Another factor besides weight that actually might affect speed more is the TAF at the novice level. WAF being the Weight Adjusted Factor and TAF being the Technique Adjusted...

From my experience sculling, I hope to offer some advice for I too struggled with this problem. The way I corrected the gradual drift(it was bad for me). I concentrated on having level handles throughout the drive so that one oar didn't dig deeper than the other. As well as making sure the amount of...

I concur with the others. Also, I don't know if you have experience with on the water rowing but a DF of 114-120 will give you the feel of the catch resistance on the water. In high school I rowed with a DF of 125 but when it came time to be on the water I felt like I couldn't put down the same powe...

!! Tips on what not to do when attempting a 24hour row !! The things that doomed my attempt and caused me to quit on hour 10 for fear of my health in the upcoming racing season. I modeled my attempt after the longest continual row requirements. Because that's my end goal. Don't try to keep a light p...

Mike Caviston Thanks for the support! We're definitely looking strong for the spring season! I figured out where I knew your name from haha, we have a Caviston Award for freshman hanging up in the RB! The facility is crazy!! Just being there makes me want to erg! Having 65 guys rowing at once is a w...

Yeah the East coast is a bit of a drive. I’m not originally from Ann Arbor so I’ll have to reach out to see what they think.

p_b82 That's where I'm having a hard time deciding, I do a majority of training on the static right now, with a portion on sliders. Once we get on the water for about 3.5 months, that training will be more closely related to the sliders path of motion and feel. My high school coach (who is not the y...

Aquamann, I'm in the same boat, I try to do research about the more niche things in rowing through this forum. That's so cool that you have a military background. Thank you for your support, most people just shrug it off as infeasible. That's a good term to use because it's very fitting, I'm definit...

Aquaman, While I hear your concerns and have been mulling them over for the last year and a half, I don't think you fully understand the challenge. The challenge is to row for at least 50 minutes out of every hour, meaning all I have to do is keep the flywheel spinning and it's valid. This allows me...

That's mega unfortunate.

I'll definitely look into some vaseline options because a few people have mentioned that as an advantageous tool. By support the effort I mean finding people that are in the area an willing to be a support crew meaning making sure I'm getting enough water, food, making sure I'm stretching. Most impo...

I haven't done it yet, my tentative date is late May this year. Cool yeah I've done a few marathons over the past couple years! Good to know on the chafing, I haven't chafed on my marathons but I believe I did on my 100k a couple years ago, it's a bit foggy of a memory though. I'm planning on doing ...

Good to note on the food aspect. As for fathoming something this outlandish, I just want to take on new challenges that push me to define my mental boundaries and force me to go past them. Also, it'll make a lot of the erg pieces I do over the summer a whole lot easier because I can compare them to ...
