Thought you'd like to know.
if you can row effectively at that rate then fair play to you.ranger wrote:I wonder whether I can do 38 spm OTW for the 135 strokes that it takes to do a 1K.
I'll have to give it a go.
I think I can do it OTErg.
What is the best that a 60-year-old has ever done for 1K OTW?
OTW, Mike VB has done 1:50 for 1K, but that was at 58 years old, and even so, I sure that that is a _long_ way from the best at that age.
Mike only rated 34 spm and fell well short of 8 SPI.

I choose the 7:02.3, as your better results were from many years ago, back when you had a better coach.ranger wrote:... take your pick.ben990 wrote:It will help me see exactly what I need to do to get to 7:02.3.

No veteran my size has ever pulled sub-6:25, much less sub-6:20, much less 6:16.

Why do you have trouble convincing anyone but yourself that you can do it?ranger wrote:Mike VB--
Why do you have trouble rowing 1:48 @ 21 spm (13 SPI) for 90min with a UT2 HR.
Is it the high stroking power (13 SPI)?
Or is it the rate?
13 SPI is just rowing well.
And 21 spm is not a very high rate at all.
When I am rating 21 spm at 13 SPI, I am in close to a 5-to-1 ratio.
