I voted for 'The Rowing Company' because I was worried with the balance of the 'Rowing'.<br />However, Malor's solution removes that concern.<br />One request, whatever you do decide on, please, please, please don't let it be 'Rowing Solutions'<br />I'm heartily sick of the over use of that phrase o...

I use a very similar strategy, with the same 'mental weakness' during the third quarter.<br />I do go off very hard for the first 6 strokes. Then take the next 10 strokes to bring the pace back to target split.<br />I'll then throw everything at the last 150m or so. Should go off earlier, but have a...

Definitely agree with George.<br />All post our pb's together.<br />I know that my 2k pace will always be slower than the 5k pace of the big boys.<br />But it's still a pb for me.<br />It shows me that I'm quicker and that all the work has a benefit to me <br /><br />Last thing we want is a tiered s...

Competitions
Some race organisers (in th UK anyway) will set up the races dependant on the predicted time of the competitors.<br />This makes for better/closer racing for the crowds (and I end up with the 50-59 boys )

Go with very much the same df between training and races.<br /><br />I'll do the long, stroke limited sessions at about 120df, and I'll race at 125. For the short intervals (1min or 250m), then I <i>might</i> raise it to 130.<br /><br />Just the way I choose to play it, though.

I personally voted for no censorship.<br /><br />I'm well aware that in certain verbal situations I will use a variety of 'industrial' language .<br />I see no excuse for it when entering typed information on a forum/in e-mail.<br />Even quick typers have plenty of time to think of a less offensive ...

There isn't one.<br />It's purely down to personal preferences.<br /><br />As a guide (no more) with a clean ergo a damper setting around 4 should give you a drag factor of about 125-130.<br />This is pretty much the ballpark for competition/training.

Not wishing to be rude, but I'd go for the bizarre option <br /><br />I have seen people at comps average that sort of spm, but it is the exception rather than the rule.<br />As a 'shorty' I tend to aim to get my average rating up to about 36spm for a 2k piece. Above that, I'm into short burst sprin...
