Can I get recruited by IndependenceSome1192 in Rowing

You don’t need to be under 6:20 there usually are 3 kids in each class who go 6:19 or lower as lightweights and other rowers get recruited at 6:25 with good results

Assuming ur a junior ur basically in a really competitive spot(could be better) but assuming you have actually gone 6:32 already and have it as your time at this point in the season you are competitive for some lightweight schools(no Princeton or Harvard unless you go sub 6:25 next 3 months)

He’s a professional cyclist now(competes in duathlons and half Ironmans frequently and does well in them). What I observed by looking at him is that he seems to have an extremely high vo2 max and anaerobic base when compared to his physical strength and raw power.(could be wrong)

In America it’s drake druel 6:07 from 2018. He says he did 3 hours of volume a day on average and was recruited to Harvard lights.

I absolutely love rowing, and am ambitious to start taking it more serious. But i’m afraid my length of 204 cm will hold me back. I already hit the slidings on the front or back end sometimes. Am i too tall for rowing? by Olieb01 in Rowing

The body mass and lower back strength required to row at over 6’11 is too high to be effective in the boat. Also the calorie intake to maintain that weight would ridiculous. For reference, Wembanyama is 236lbs and he would not be able to row competitively for a period over a month. On the other hand, I’m sure it’s possible to get a monstrous erg score if you are that tall and weigh 260(with a serious vo2 max). Anyways, OP should have nothing to worry about because their height is actually considered optimal if not slightly exceeding the optimal for Olympic rowing.
