Paul, not many youngsters as fast as 17.10 <br /><br />great time

[[old] DougB]

This thread is too quiet, so I'll offer a result: 6:33.8 today, a PB by 1 second. This time I held 1:38 pace (1:37.8 I think) up until about 600 meters to go, and then slowed to 1:40 the rest of the way. Just couldn't go any faster, no matter what I did. Based on how long I was gasping for air afterwards, I'd say I gave it my all. 35/36 spm until I got tired and dropped to 34 spm. I think my form was good at the start, with a strong leg drive, but I only remember thrashing about at the end. I guess that's what happens when one gets too tired in a race.<br /><br />That's 6:37.5, 6:34.8, and 6:33.8, all within one week. I've been coughing steadily since the first race, have no more energy, and have probably reached my peak. So now's a good time to start my off-season program with steady distance and various cross-training. This morning I weighed 162 pounds, so I figure I could stand to add a couple pounds of muscle to maybe improve my 2K times. If nothing else I'll look and feel better.<br /><br />Let's hear some more race results - there must be some out there...

Great lightweight time Doug. If you can hang onto that speed until next year you should be in the hunt for a medal at CRASH-B's.<br /><br />I had a good race yesterday at Brockton. Not a PB, but within a second at 6:55.9. Had splits of 1:44.2, 1:44.2, 1:44.0, 1:43.5. Drag at 121 and stroke rate at 36, creeping up to 40 by the final thrash to the finish. I hope to be able to hold on to this for one more week and not get stage fright at CRASH-B's. <br /><br />Rick

I'll bet you loved those splits. There's nothing like a controlled max effort. All the best next week. Sorry I won't be there to cheer you on.<br />MM

May as well enter a result on here to keep the thread going!<br />Competed yesterday in a very small comp, Surrey IRC, slightly <br />south of London, UK...wanted a bit of a prep race before Boston....<br />Was the only 30-39 LWT...and raced at about 85%..and managed<br />a 6.36.8...went to the plan of being sub 6.40 fairly comfortably...<br /><br />Also had the last interval sesh before Boston, and was full out<br />at lunchtime today...4 x 4mins (3 mins rest ) overall average <br />of 1.39.9... was very pleased with this, best session for a couple<br />of months!...makes me feel a bit more confident of being nearer<br />6:30-32 in Boston, nowhere near my PB of 6.27.1 back in October though!

First 3k relay raced in the US (Arizona Indoor Rowing Championships). Winning time: 8:32 (1:25.3 pace). Fifty-one seconds behind the WR time of the Brits. We'll get 'em next time. <br /><br />Dwayne

The more you practice, the more slick the changeovers will be. As your changeovers improve, the times will drop by a lot! <br /><br />Did anyone film it? Would be great to see if possible. Otherwise if it was done on e-row then are there any race replays. They're always good fun to watch!!<br /><br />Jon<br /><br />

I rowed in the Pittsburgh Indoor Championship, a qualifer site for the Crash-B's. This was my first indoor regatta and first 2000 meter race. I got a personal best of 6:16.8. Against what seems to be the popular advise I went out hard for the 1st 200 meters, seetled into a pace, and had about a 200 meter kick at the end. I have been rowing for a little bit over a year and love the sport. I want to go to Boston sometime although it won't be this year.

Yeah if you had 2 changeover mistakes you could have lost anything upto 10 sec there. The other factor is what the pace slips to during changeover. If someone's pulling around 1:15-1:20, then a good solid changeover should have the clock only slip to about 1:25-1:30 before getting back down to speed. At least, that's what we tried to do most of the time <br /><br />If you wanted, some of our 100k practice sessions are on VHS. I might be able to put them onto NTSC VHS tapes for you to have a look at. I could always pick up an NTSC VHS blank tape in Boston this weekend to get it done if wanted.<br /><br />Let me know.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Jon<br /><br />
