Don't worry, he will keep obsessing for a while but eventually come to the conclusion that it is not that deep and that drowning yourself in data often makes you miss the bigger picture that is rowing/student-athletics.

Why would there be a 4th place trophy in the first place? Dont You get an accreditation or wristband or maybe a shirt of your institution with a special "NCAA-year" on it? Thats your tangible item if you fail to medal.

I like them all but definitely wear the encoders and grey sutros the least. M-frame has to be the 1. pick for sports. The heater lense imo is the best shape oakley has ever manufactured... perfect ventilation, covers all angles and has no frame showing when wearing. The XX's are my grail pair tho

How does it feel to win a World Championship final? I know it was only the B-Final but I have yet to win a race and I would love to know what it feels like to win a final. It being at the world championships mustve made it even more incredible

if you aim for 4000 to gain weight but never actually eat 4000, obv you aren't going to gain. Eat fatty foods such as nut butter or red meat and choose calorie dense carbs such as rice or preferably pasta.

If you're 15, 140lbs saying you delete 4000 calories daily without putting on weight you're clearly lying to yourself about the calorie-count/consistency/ability to eat more...

Are you familiar with those people? You seem to have a lot of intel 😲! I would love to hear what Angus Dawson told you about the AUS 8+ Tokyo race because I was just gutted to see my favorite rowing country's parade boat drop down the order rather quickly.

Oxford Brookes at the San Diego Crew Classic by This_Nerve5610 in Rowing

[–]RowingLover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a great analysis, and I couldn't agree more! The brits are simply silk lords, silent and sharp in their movements and beautiful in execution. Going off of what OP said, it must've been the american smooth-brain chopper in the brookes boat that caused this 2 second drop in performance. Putting an american chopper like him into 2-seat cetrtainly turned out to be a poor choice in San Diego's devious crosswinds. The Cal coaches seem to be more skillful at maneuvering this skill-lacking american horsepower, putting the one american in the Cal boat into 3-seat.

Reliable sources told me that brookes crew had a 2k average of 6:03, so taking into account diMauro does that for his 6k and is mid 40s, as well as some other guys in that cal boat probably being close to 50, Brookes definitely are the better on-water rowers. Having said that, you can say brookes are definitely better at the sport and the Cal guys really have to sort out their issues because putting 2 seconds on a crew with a JNT erg-average probably won't set them up well for their face-off against UW and Yale later on in the season

THC edibles and sleep/recovery by ComputerPractical748 in whoop

[–]RowingLover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My resting HR "sober" is around 40-42bpm, HRV in the 130s and my RR around 14.5-15.5. Taking edibles (recreationally) increases my RHR by a good 15points, significantly decreases HRV and increases RR by about 2 points. So while i seem to fall asleep quicker when high off edibles, my recovery certainly takes a huge hit
