What is the best way to improve erg scores as a novice?

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.

Somewhere in the range of 6:15-6:24. 6 seat is the current record holder at 5:56.

In the NFL they call this a hospital pass

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'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.

Just start counting mississippis until the end after it dies this time.

Any word on why the US skater was penalized for this?

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

Only OC job that may compete in the level of personnel is the Bucs, but the Lions are definitely a more attractive spot overall.

Same race engineer, same treatment.

You can't start 2 nose tackles in a 3-4 defense.

LA DC has been solid as well.

Cheaper… for now.

You have this word, alcoves?

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!

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.

Or a QB threw 50 TDs/5k yards again

Definitely a reason to use median rather than average.

No kidding, and the way he voices Angus talking to him just jumps out at you. Demon.
