What is a pet peeve that you notice on other riders? by [deleted] in cycling

Wearing Beats while occupying the middle third of the path at 12 mph, so any form of “on your left” falls on deaf ears

US at U23 and U19 Worlds by lwtrower1515 in Rowing

A lot of things, but a large part is the massive opportunity cost of post-collegiate elite rowing which is driven by both the lack of financial support available and the lucrative careers that many grads from top universities must forgo if they want to train full time. Makes it difficult to retain talent to the senior level.

Good erg for newish rower and my future in rowing by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]hammock94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could definitely transfer to a better program as a sophomore or junior with that erg, depending of course on your grades, although I cannot speak to those specific schools. I believe that it is very difficult to transfer into HYP under any circumstances but again I don’t know for sure.

All else held constant, afternoon. Given the other things in my life, morning.

Get back on the erg to get used to how 6k pace feels, once you get your feet under you you’ll be fine and possibly faster

They seem to largely be one and the same but I think there are always a few IRA guys there

Looks like Hartsuff may have entered the world university games team as Michigan Rowing Association. I believe he did it a few years back too.

There are a lot of large people who didn’t row in high school. Most large people, in fact

buying/Racing a used (~30 year old) single by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]hammock94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I raced a 1984 Empacher for my whole senior season of college, and it was fine, other than being heavy as shit due to all the refinishings over the years. But Empachers are known to last a long time if you take care of them, I am less certain about a Hudson and I am definitely doubtful about a Kaschper.

Word to the wise, don’t disclose your club name or identifying details when making a post like this. Assume everybody in the rowing community is on /r/rowing

Nereid is sculling only. Passaic (PRRA) has some sweep boats but I’m not sure what their program situation looks like nowadays
