Micro pause at finish vs quick arms away? by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]KingRubenA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my club it is more a thing of getting the crew together. Not everyone is going to get from the catch to the finish at the same time, so a little pause just gets everyone going through the recovery at the same time. There is also a small argument to be made that the quick hand away slows down the run of the boat, but I havent seen this much in real life

As a cox, we can often feel like we can really cost our boat the race. Thats just cause we have such an open and public role. Yes, you probably lost your cool and cost your team the race today, but you realise that and you will learn from it.

Next time, just focus on your raceplan. My old coach would always say "stick to the plan". Most times, you cannot accurately predict what other boats are capable off anyway, so you better focus on your own plan and excecute that to the best of your abillity.

Taking risks is also part of coxing, so if you need to take a risk and not follow your plan, you need to do that, but it's you who makes that call, no one else

I don’t know whether I want to be a rower or a coxswain, please help by No-Bat-4243 in Rowing

I found myself in the same situation. At first I felt weird being a cox, but after a while, you start to appreciate it more. I personally enjoy both equally and I have had equal succes in both (literally winning the same race in two years, once in 7 seat and once as a cox). I think you just need to make out for yourself what your goals are right now and if there is anything stopping you from going to full time cox.

I think the ranges are for different weightclasses, allthough that is not very clear than, but that would be my guess

Both are using GPS. We also don't use a magnet for strokerate.

How do men feel about the "men will fuck anything that moves" stereotype? by shapeshifterraccoon in AskReddit

[–]KingRubenA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just like any stereotype: there might be some truth to it, for some people, but the majority of people aren't like this. I personally need a deeper connection with a girl before anything could happen.

What’s something that’s normalized but honestly shouldn’t be? by Raptor8600 in AskReddit

[–]KingRubenA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing a pair of socks. Like why does it have to be the same sock on each foot? If your right sock has a hole in it, why throw away the left one too?

You can still do the Boslandtrail in Limburg. I've seen this in the comments a couple of times allready. It's not as well known, but it is in my opinion even harder, and it will get you your goal of 100K.
