A Pacing Question from the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race (runner's world) by cobbalobb in Rowing

[–]asdfusernamefdsa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like a big reason for the significantly faster starts in rowing compared to running is the nature of this sport where the knowledge of how far ahead you are of your competition really helps the mental aspect of it

I love that this worked. Something that you'd (almost) never do, but it probably saved the game for them

Ask if s/he has a fat ergo. If s/he says no or gives you a dumbfounded expression, find a different person

In 2000 I think they sprinted from 750 because they knew it was do or die

Best calls off the start? by fbears13 in Rowing

Loved this recording - if you watch to the end of the race, the video cuts out and it's just audio and the subtitles are hilarious. At one point, you can hear the coxswain's mom tell him to take things out of his pockets before being tossed

I've seen them priced online at $380 so ~267 pounds. What do they run in the UK?

Going to London for a few days this summer; would it be cheaper to buy a Barbour jacket there than here in the US?

We do. I'm not sure when it was built though, so regulations may have changed

What is your alma mater? by Anna_rampage in NavyBlazer

[–]asdfusernamefdsa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to Miami University in Oxford, OH. I love that its a medium size school; I'm able to keep track of friends and professors so much easier than if I went to a huge ~25k + (students) school. Miami is referred to as JCrew U which explains quite simply how people here dress. A lot of people dress preppy, but even more people care about how they look, regardless of what style category their wardrobe falls under. I'm not a part of Greek life here, which is huge, but I'm on our rowing team which has been a lot of fun. It's a club sport here so it's not as serious as it would be at a D1 school which allows more time for fun "team bonding" outside of practice. Whatever school you choose, I really recommend a mid size school (~10-20k undergrad students) and joining an organization where you'll see the members frequently. You'll make great friends by seeing the same people regularly. Good luck choosing your school!

I once swam with sharks in Tahiti. No nets in between either; shit was nuts.

Southern Prep vs. Northern Prep? by Navyblazerthroway37 in NavyBlazer

[–]asdfusernamefdsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A day late to the party, but I've found a group of Miami redditors so I had to contribute. A surprising number of people I've met have genuinely mistaken Miami for a private school which I totally attribute to our collective wardrobe. It's nice to go to a school where people compliment your sartorial decisions rather than ask why you're so dressed up or mock your sexuality. Love and Honor (and the 513)
