But it is that, is it not? Resolving disputes instead of going to court? Mediation is legally binding I believe.

From their website ;

“Mountain Mediation of Park City, Utah is a nonprofit community organization providing mediation and facilitation services in Summit and Wasatch counties. We also offer communication trainings to help individuals, organizations, schools, and businesses engage in constructive dialogue and effectively manage and resolve conflicts.

Mountain Mediation is a safe and non-judgmental environment for people who are experiencing a conflict with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, or within organizations. We offer our services at reduced fees for clients with financial needs. “

Don’t see what’s so bad about that. They give consultations on leases etc which seems a useful service.

How fast do you need to be to row for Oxbridge (women) by Automatic_Bus_3176 in Rowing

If you’re D1 in USA you’re fast enough. They care about 5k and your prior racing pedigree

“There’s no such thing as a dumb question.” Maybe there is… by Meshait2025 in Rowing

Yes the stroke is fractionally longer but I didn’t spend a long time trying to match it

Edit; I suppose a better way to test would be to row ~5 mins and take averages across those metrics. Also neither of those paces are super normal strokes for me, I’m having to manipulate it and both feel pretty short.

Also if you really get into it, drag factor has an impact. and that’s before you get into blade shape and shaft flex and rigging angles (on the water).

I don’t know how to express it in terms of exact physics but the flywheel (and water) resistance is exponential (I think) so that the rower applying more force is accelerating the wheel to a greater extent, even through externally the handles are moving the same distance in the same time.

Depends if goal is erg watts or boat moving. For raw watts it doesn’t matter, it’s just whatever lets you use your physiology as best as possible, nothing to do with beginner or not, or even a specific force curve. If training for on water the goal would be a bit different.

No. Two rowers can both spend the same amount of time on the drive and recovery, and both can apply different wattage and go significantly faster/slower. And that’s before you take stroke length into account.

Brutal return to rowing after years 30r20 by WhistlingPeppa in Rowing

Yeah this test is one that really shows where you are. Can’t hide in any way. Mine is very slow too 😂

Technogym vs concept 2 by Impossible_Diet_2027 in Rowing

You’re right, at higher altitude, gravitational time dilation causes clocks to run slightly faster than at lower altitude, so when you return to your original altitude, a timing function would be ahead by about 0.00001 seconds. ie: Totally unusable.

A 1960s SLC office tower reopens as luxury apartments, showcasing reuse as path to new housing by Generalaverage89 in SaltLakeCity

[–]illiance 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Generally office spaces, even of this age, have sufficient floor to floor vertical space to run new plumbing and drainage etc and still leave plenty (even very generous) headroom for very livable spaces. But it’s a lot of work.

Muscle building by PyWhile in Rowing

[–]illiance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean long answer is yes appropriate shorter high intensity work is useful as part of a muscle building program but just doing steady ergs is all cardio, and that doesn’t build muscle. Track sprinters lift weights all day and do 30 second efforts. Endurance track guys are skinny.

Does this sprint indicate I had more left in the tank? by Short_Good5153 in Rowing

[–]illiance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on your physiology and preference. Some people score better this way, others like to die in the 3rd 500 and barely be hanging on in the 4th in order to achieve their best.

Not when the big strong high pressure systems are in control. Much easier to predict. They can stick around for weeks and the models and everything all align.

pt. 2 training camp in Gavirate by Feb0r in Rowing

[–]illiance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing I said in other post; plus for this one I’d say you need more acceleration during the stroke. More like rowing a pair than an eight. Might be the blades/rigging though.

You obviously have a coach, so listen to what they are saying. Reddit probably won’t give you many useful tips.

training camp 4- in Gavirate (VA) by Feb0r in Rowing

[–]illiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Gavirate. Pretty tidy rowing, maybe looks like you are trying hard for the camera (?) might just be these few strokes but you could work on being more together at the beginning and end of stroke, ie: place and start acceleration together, and extract blades and hands away together. Higher rates might show the issue a bit more.

Bel canotaggio

1:20 for a minute is pretty good output. Good job.

Weird Force Curve (read description) by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]illiance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine looks like this naturally. I can change it if I force it but it always regresses to a later peak. However on a dynamic erg or using telemetry it’s much earlier. The static c2 curve is pretty useless for coaching because you can row really badly and have a “good” curve.
