How come the times dont match the sig? and 5'9" 155lb 6:37 seems kind of outrageous

PB @ 20' today. 20' may seem like a weird distance, but it is my favorite and the perrenial erg piece at my team's practice due to time constraints.<br /><br />Splits :<br />20:00 1018 1:57.8 24<br />16:00 1023 1:57.3 25<br />12:00 1037 1:55.7 25<br />8:00 1049 1:54.3 25<br />4:00 1087 1:50.3 26<br ...

Sub 6:40 is Ivy/Top Lightweight<br />Sub 6:30/6:25 is Ivy/Top Heavyweight<br /><br />Alot of kids from my club get recruited and these seem to be the times. A friend has 6:36 2k for LWT this year and is going to Yale. Another had 6:43 LWT Junior Year @ 150lbs and is at Penn. Something around there s...

jbell,<br /> I didn't really fly and die, but my 3rd 500 left something to be desired, it was around 148-149 I believe. However, my last 500 was probably around 142, 143, so not so bad. I also had a decent warmup before, about 10 minutes of erging and some stretching, but when I 2k next at practice,...

Jbell, remember that stroke rates on the water are higher than on the erg.<br /><br /><br />Well, I did my 2k today. After waking up early to weigh in, missing weight, and then sweating down to make it, I pulled a 7:07.2 later in the afternoon. I had wanted to break 7', but I dont think I was quite ...

I'd just like to give a thank you to Jim Barry. Thanks to his advice on my summer training, I was able to drop 24 seconds off my time 2k time, increase my endurance to a half marathon, and lose almost 20 lbs, all over the summer. Now I'm no longer at the bottom of my team, I'm nearing 1 million mete...

14456 for 60:00 Minutes today. First hour of power since novice year and it felt good.

Highschool OTW Rower here. I've raced in a 2x, 4x, 4-, and 8+. There is nothing, nothing, like the feeling of that absolute perfection in any of those boats, when your stroke, balance, and power application are as placid as the surrounding calm plane of water.

Just turned 17, Junior, City Honors High School (Western New York), 6'2, 170 lbs, best 2k to date (from summer) 7:09.7 (i'm shooting for sub 7/lwt at the Ontario Ergometer Champs)

John,<br /><br /> If you were to ever row on the water you would quickly find out that the indoor rowing machine is not quite analagous to a shell. There are so many other factors that just aren't present inside, on a balanced surface, on a rowing machine. I would implore you to experience water row...

John, Have you ever rowed on the water? I think you need to understand the idea of <b>check</b> that is caused by a fast recovery and a long drive. What you want is ratio, something around the lines of two to one on the recovery to drive time. Before you talk about water rowing, gain some experience...

Seems to me like your do for some new 5k and 6k PBs with a 2:00.4 on your 12k, which it seems wasn't your "maximal effort" and only a 1:55.1 on your 5k and 6k.
