Gary Passler in blue and Roy Brook in white, working out at the Hard Nock's Gym in Amesbury, Massachusetts.

The guy in white looks as though he'd be good at shoveling snow.

since you asked for it....

1...hands should move away faster from the body at the end of the stroke, therefore helping the..
2...body to lean forward more on the recovery, the latter needing to be...
3...longer in relation to the drive in terms of time.

all comments relate to the man in front (wearing a blue shirt).

Isn't that what he is doing in the video? Whoops, my mistake. I see now that he is hauling up anchors.

Rocket Roy skipped town just in time to avoid any shoveling, despite insisting for the past couple of years that he would love to do it. All talk, no action!

chickenlegs, thanks for the feedback. Should the recovery be longer in relation to the drive even at race paces?

Roy has a really nice powerful leg-arm transition.

Shins go way past vertical, but the style works well obviously.

Thanks for sharing the videos.

Rich,

Just don't sabotage his LWT status with that great Boston cuisine, home or out.

Thanks for the pointers, may help me get under 7:00. Blue shirt guy

[Nosmo]

Pretty good. Little slow with the hands and the back. Both should get the body angle set before the legs come up on the recovery. Its hard to tell but perhaps the blue shirt guy should be a little more relaxed with the arms and upper body at the start of the drive---so that he is really just hanging.

Roy doesn't stretch his legs completely.
Well, I don't do that either, so I suppose it mustn't be that bad...

[Yankeerunner]

Ancho Libre,

On Sunday we were all wondering if you were dizzy with joy at the successes of the Spanish women at CRASH-B's. They looked real good.

Rick (who also doesn't stretch his legs completely)

I knew there were 2 girs from Astillero competeing, but I ghaven't even had the time to check the WIRC results. Wil do it inmediately!

Just for the record:
I rowed for Astillero in summer 1987

[ancho]

Just checked back:

VERRRY WELL DONE, SONIA & VIRGINIA.

One of the very few moments it makes me feel proud to be a Spaniard!
