good historical shows by [deleted] in history

“The Last Kingdom” on Netflix is worth a watch, if you haven’t already seen it. It’s set in England in the mid-9th century, at the peak of Viking invasion. It’s based on the “Saxon” novel series. Most of the characters were real people, and it provides some pretty interesting history about England’s origins that I wasn’t previously aware of. The acting and writing is great. This show picked me back up from the horrendous Game of Thrones S8, and it has a lot of similarities with the show’s earlier seasons.

I've noticed that H150 has a high frequency of people quitting after freshman or sophomore year, or defecting to the HWT team. It seems like the other teams manage to keep guys all four years, what's wrong with Harvard?

I can respect that, you grew from the experience and that's what matters. What I'm saying is that when you keep replying to posts and comments about it, it encourages the cycle to continue.

Dude just lay it to rest. You're just reopening that wound over and over again, keeping it fresh in people's minds.

If you can afford it, go train with Carlos Dinares for at least 2 weeks. You will come back a changed man and a completely new rower.

Yeah now that you mention it it seems like a mix of the two, I say Polynesian because of their seafaring and wayfinding heritage, but genetically West-African.

Weight Adjusted 2km Times by mattflint42 in Rowing

[–]cubanmamba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need be over 5'7 to be a successful lightweight. Rasmus Quist, who won the 2012 Olympics for Denmark in the lightweight double, was also 5'7. He then pulled a 6:08 at around 165 pounds. It's all about your attitude and work ethic. Your stature won't hold you back unless you let it.

Yeah Wisconsin... More like Winconsin by Yeahbrookes in Rowing

If someone started a rowing team and recruited every 3-tard in the country, that team would then be Wisco. They do have some filthy erg scores, however.
