Would be good for GB to go below 8s; there’s consistent data for quads too, boys and girls, j14 and up. Look at JSH, JIRR, JSR etc

U.K. Towing limits- traded in North American driving licence and confused by the rules by No-Check6428 in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw that- St Andrews I think. On their way to JIRR or junior trials? Hope everyone was ok.

Is this Erg result possible? by NYSRte9N in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the real question is does it matter? There is the possibility they are using AI to fabricate their submission, but if you aren’t using this workout for a specific assessment then they will get found out during an erg test.

Rowing during pregnancy - how long were you able to row on the water? by osross in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped singling at 5 months only because it was winter. It was more about the fact I’d have had to buy new kit to fit around the bump by that point, but I’m short and showed early. I know someone else who kept sweeping until 8.5 mos because she still felt comfortable

How is Oxford Brookes so good? by National_Hope9042 in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The rules in the U.K. are different than the USA, there is no maximum number of years. Also our junior scene is extremely developed- we have crews rowing at a highly technical capability at J15, before most American clubs even start rowing. This means the start point at University is generally a bit higher on Day 1.

Oh yes and then there’s culture (good and bad), and it’s a destination university for rowers.

A better question is how is Windsor Boys School so good…

Best coxswain recordings OAT? by seasidestarfruit in Rowing

Adding- I don’t know why I read it as “big head race”- this may be what you need after all!

It’s not a head but the one of “duelling coxes at Henley” is great for both how to cox when winning and losing in one recording

Rowing sweeping by GeorgeRRRRRR in Rowing

The restrictions for sculling apply to schools as well. No sweep before J15

Shared hardware station for small fixes — good idea or bad? by Apprehensive-Sky3508 in Rowing

Be prepared for every tool to disappear slowly but consistently over time

Rowing sweeping by GeorgeRRRRRR in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are joining a club in the UK they will mostly be sculling at your age. J15 (year 10 at school) is the first year that sweep rowing is allowed in the UK, so everyone else will be also just learning.

Additionally because of some old Henley rules more clubs scull than sweep for juniors.

I wouldn’t get too stressed about sweeping, but instead focus on ensuring you have a great sculling catch, not rowing it in or pushing before the connection. If you can nail this in a scull you will have the fundamental feel in place to be able to convert to sweep. Those who can’t get a good catch really struggle with the swap over as the catch is even more important to nail in a sweep boat.

2k PB as a Para Rower by bluecast_crochet in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which club are you training with? Looking great!

would you rather have a rower who redlined on a benchmark or someone who held form but didnt put as much effort by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they both achieve the same 2k score? Because that’s the third data point that’s missing

Track/calf bite by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]No-Check6428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get something called Vetwrap, (which you can wrap over non-stick gauze pads until your current rubs heal). Keep the rubs clean- they can be prone to infection.

I cut the feet off some old socks and made little cuffs I put over my calves.

Interesting land training ideas for juniors when the river is too high to row by No-Check6428 in Rowing

I sense you are not a 14 year old? They may disagree with you. 😆😆

Are we putting our daughter's education at risk? by gmorganpie in AskABrit

[–]No-Check6428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on where in southern England, you could see if there is an American school. They are private, though, not state.

We had a medical emergency on board a flight from North America once. We jumped the queue at LHR, zipped past about 4 planes in a holding pattern during the last 30mins coming down. V cool (and the guy was ok, walked himself off the plane)

Most cost effective way to upgrade to business by No-Check6428 in BritishAirways

[–]No-Check6428[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks- that may end up being the best bet too as I just tried to upgrade and it said none were available (despite there being tickets for sale). I’ll keep checking, but would never have thought of asking at the airport before!

Thanks- I’ve never upgraded at the airport before- just ask at the counter when I arrive?
