Name a single 2K, race or not, that you've rowed using that stroke contour.ranger wrote: The stroke contour that I posted is what I use in _all_ of my rowing, including my 2K racing.

Never mind 2k, he's not even done 500m continuously with that stroke contour...PaulH wrote:Name a single 2K, race or not, that you've rowed using that stroke contour.ranger wrote: The stroke contour that I posted is what I use in _all_ of my rowing, including my 2K racing.

One thing I ignore (and shouldn't): ranger is the best 2k erger among cohorts... or, should I say, "co-hurts"... That is: He trains so very hard and turns in the best or nearly the best time at 2k once a year.Flipper21 wrote:Actually, having read all this guff for quite some considerable time annd that said in slighlty emabarrassed mode. I have to take my hat off to some excellent fastidious reporting by Byron, MVB and Nav.
Some great accurate accounts and dissection of the ratios of erging and rowing in a nutshell. Here we have real knowledge beyond the average rower and an invaluable insight to all the mechanics involved with the body, mind and Erg.
I think Ranger has also surpassed himself in his new-found ways of ignoring everything positive given to him (FREE at that). Ranger needs no coach as he used all the credible information from all of the above and more, to try and improve his methodology. Unfortunately he is on a spiral downwards because you cannot teach and old dog new tricks. As Lancs has often said...'the virtual PB is on its way'.
Brave souls will no doubt continue their quest to enlighten the enlightened one.

Lately, 6:41, pretty much WR pace, rowing badly at max drag, and without even preparing for it.mikvan52 wrote:One thing I ignore (and shouldn't): ranger is the best 2k erger among cohorts... or, should I say, "co-hurts"...

Sure, if I pull a lwt 6:20 at BIRC 2010, as I think I will, I will be happy to accept congratulations.mikvan52 wrote:He is to be congratulated for that one thing.

No, it was without sharpening at all.hjs wrote:hmmm the facts are that you had to row 5/6 races and only once could ge in the low 6.40 and after that is was gone. It was after hard sharpening and in topform

That's why it took a while to get my time down.

racing is not anaerobe ?? right, all those race you did the last years and in which you blew up you could have easily kept the pace going if would have gona anaerobe Based on your claims you train to a level most consider excessive in your commendable attempt to rewrite the record books.ranger wrote: I haven't sharpened since 2003.
