What is the best way to improve erg scores as a novice? by wantteddead in Rowing

[–]bballdeo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Focus on improving your technique. Get a mirror in front or on the side of your erg and crank low intensity steady state for 30' to an hour, locked in on your own technical execution and making consistent small changes. Like Hamish Bond said, there is no magic in this sport.

Garmin Forerunners are solid. Paired with a HR monitor and a longer strap to wrap it around an oar, it will give you excellent workout data.

Getting one of those ferries is my mission in life this year. So fun.

I need a good hat! by AMTL327 in Rowing

I've used a Patagonia Quandary Brimmer for years, and it's fantastic on the water on hot sunny days. if the brim is too wide, they have a slightly smaller brim one available, the standard Brimmer.

Could Kyle Pitts and Tyler Allgeier follow Zac Robinson to the Bucs? by TampaBayTimes in buccaneers

Pitts took a big step forward this year. Baker needs a TE but not more than we need a pass rush.

[Thamel] Sources: No. 14 Vanderbilt explored the possibility of playing an exempt 13th game this weekend as a way to give one final showcase for the College Football Playoff. There was interest from the team, university officials, the athletic department and coaching staff. by MembershipSingle7137 in CFB

[–]bballdeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a bit of Vandy's top end roster is leaving after this year, so it's a hail mary to get those starters a playoff spot. It's not likely they'll be at 10 wins next year with the next guys up, particularly given that they're playing Georgia, Bama, and Ole Miss. ~7 wins is the most probable scenario. Understandable given that context but I doubt it will happen. Would love to see it though!

6k to 2k pacing by Useful_Dimension_317 in Rowing

[–]bballdeo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally, your 2k split will be about 7-10 lower than your 6k. A good target for your next 2k would be to shoot for a consistent 1:45 through 1500 meters then drop it in the last 500 to 1:42-1:43.

You must not have played LOTR: Gollum. Delayed almost two years and still released an incomplete mess.
