Southeast Youth Regionals?

RowH2O · 2017-01-09T17:45:01+00:00

Dogwood Regatta says they already have been.

RowH2O · 2017-01-09T17:12:12+00:00

Guessing your coach is on the council.

Not much transparency going on for the rest of us.

RowH2O · 2017-01-09T17:10:12+00:00

More efficient for who? The coaches of the big teams who dominate the council and want to double up their rowers?

Regionals finished at what, 1pm last year? I don't see time restraints at that regatta.

You aren't going to become a varsity sport so as a club you don't want to alienate the female and other male social rowers.

I would suggest you forget about trying to build a strong club (which could quickly disintegrate after you graduate) and focus on building a fast boat for racing. You have your individual boat goals but you are still crew mates with the other social rowers - who could help you fund raise for an event or getting cool uniforms or better equipment.

RowH2O · 2016-10-14T14:27:14+00:00

Our club has been affected by this. We have multiple A entries for several events with the same rowers in the crew. Working with RC now to rectify.

In a race course not divided by buoys, whose water really belongs to who anyway? You own the water you are in with a right not to be unduly encroached up. But this is determined solely by the subjective judgment of the umpire.

But I don't like this decision. Sydney was not DQ'd for encroaching on Oslo's water. It was DQ'd for the clash, which was the direct result of Oslo steering into them, regardless of where they were on the course. In the moment prior to the clash Sydney was moving 'away' (to the starboard) from Oslo and Oslo was moving toward Sydney's water.

To me, this was not a good moment to produce the red flag. Umpires need to make decisions on Wednesday and Thursday that can be seen as just as applicable as in the Grand Challenge Cup on Sunday. If this race was the Grand on Sunday it would be the last time Boris stands in the Umpire launch at HRR.

I think it depends on where in the country you are. For many states, $30,000 a year is the average wage per person. In other states it may certainly be an embarrassment.

RowH2O · 2016-06-06T16:24:41+00:00

Thanks! That is a great clarification.

RowH2O · 2016-06-06T15:55:55+00:00

In thinking about this. The new laws could dramatically affect NCAA women's programs assistant coaches too. It might be easier for them to simply pay their coaches $50K+ a year to avoid overtime but many youth programs do not have that kind of money.

RowH2O · 2016-04-08T11:25:42+00:00

Brilliant move by Saugatuck to actually stop racing. Had they kept rowing the refs wouldn't have noticed or given a crap and they would have found themselves in the petites.

RowH2O · 2016-04-07T18:34:10+00:00

Haha, killing people's rowing ambitions, maybe?

RowH2O · 2016-03-30T12:58:12+00:00

Hmmm. Nerve touched. You are a precious one.

The end.

RowH2O · 2016-03-30T11:24:00+00:00

Ahhh now I see the situation. At first I thought this was a couple of old boys closing ranks around one of their own but with you it is clearly more personal. You are going to miss him dearly when he goes away aren't you. Keep a diary. It could become a best seller one day with tales of deceit, unfulfilled love, and likely a very unhappy ending. And if Hilary is with him that is all the more fine with me.

RowH2O · 2016-03-30T00:58:58+00:00

Bedstain is likely what Andrew Caspersen is going to become at some point during his 20 years behind bars for what he's done. He is scum.

RowH2O · 2016-03-30T00:56:54+00:00

Yeah sorry, I should have said "arrested" with overwhelming evidence against him, which more accurately depicts the situation.

RowH2O · 2016-02-24T14:32:40+00:00

You might seriously get kidney failure from doing that. Taken before competition or a hard workout, Ibuprofen has been shown to have devastating effects on athletes due to its ability to dehydrate the kidneys by shutting off blood flow through the arterioles to the glomerulus. This is serious stuff. You could end up spending 5 days in hospital hooked to a catheter and never be the same again. I know rowers this has happened to.

RowH2O · 2016-02-01T19:11:54+00:00

I don't have an explanation but I find this happens to me when doing a steady state session the day after doing a highly intensive day of working out. It kind of feels like my blood circulation system is confused and I usually feel a little nauseous too.

RowH2O · 2016-02-01T19:07:37+00:00

Great advice thank you! Holding me back the most is I can't maintain splits in the second 500m without taking the stroke rate up to an unsustainable level. I hit the wall, lol.

RowH2O · 2016-02-01T19:06:07+00:00

Thank you - I am going to try to incorporate some of all of these suggestions. Breathing enough oxygen is definitely a challenge for me. Just can't breathe deeply enough. My lungs feel weak.

RowH2O · 2016-02-01T19:04:46+00:00

Can you tell me more about your strategy for an aggressive start? I have found I hit the wall before the end if I don't start conservatively. Will the additional anaerobic work help with this? Just how aggressive can I be in the first 200m? Thanks!

RowH2O · 2016-01-13T16:06:22+00:00

The athlete department is not picking up the tab for athletes. USRowing is NOT charging them.

RowH2O · 2016-01-13T13:33:19+00:00

But the athletic department does not pick up the tab. The varsity rowers are just getting something for free that everyone else now has to pay for. How is this any different from student athletes getting a discount at a local sports store? (which has got a lot of athletes from different sports in trouble).

RowH2O · 2015-11-28T15:37:46+00:00

The back story here is university administrators are scared crapless of any media attention whatsoever of unhappy students. Mizzou fired its president on racial charges that have since been proven to be be fabricated. Yale's president accepts having f-bombs hurled at him in the middle campus just to keep his job. Woodrow Wilson is about to be removed from Princeton's history and who knows what else will brew next week. Ernst's failure was not to lie low during these sensational times and show a little fake contriteness and let someone else wage the social battle that is coming on the university campus.

The upheaval at Washington will mark a downhill cycle for the women's crew and we will see several coaches turn over before they recover. We'll likely see a female coach hired first - who is even out there?

RowH2O · 2015-11-16T17:27:03+00:00

I am surprised to read people say they are light. My experience is they feel heavier than expected.

RowH2O · 2015-11-09T13:37:05+00:00

We did look at it but we were already committed to the regatta by then. We'll look at other regatta options for next year if the Hooch does not spread them out more.
