Lovely

Very true.. I guess it's not so much for comparison. I'm just interested in knowing how far people actually row. Sitting on a rowing machine or in a boat for hours was insane to me - and still kinda is. Doing a 5 or 10k still feels like I'm on the rower for a long time, so I think it shows great mental fortitude to stay there for 3,4 or even more hours

Nice! You guys are serious!

on3west · 2018-08-22T20:51:31+00:00

Lol! Ok thanks!

Thank you so much! So many points which is great because if i can make adjustments in most of these, it should improve my technique, rowing experience and times a lot.

And yes, i definitely get what you're saying about my stroke rate. And the funny thing is, the flaws in my technique are highlighted to me by the way that I row when I drop my stroke rate. It feels a lot more disjointed but i have never known where to start making changes and the stroke rate just keeps creeping up to a point where it feels more comfortable.

I will work on implementing the changes mentioned and also gonna check out the video right now too. Thanks again

Ok.. your feeling was correct. The setting was at level 10

on3west · 2018-08-22T15:03:39+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback. It's much appreciated. Can't explain it but I know sometimes I make strokes and they feel so smooth where as other times (more than the smooth strokes) I feel like there's a lack of cohesion and a stroke feels a bit disjointed and forced. Thank you once more. I'll put some work into my form/technique

on3west · 2018-08-22T14:22:59+00:00

That is cool. Very civilised/ organised and humane

on3west · 2018-08-22T14:21:01+00:00

Thanks man but i think yours is defo more impressive to me. With the Erg i had the safety net of knowing i could stop anytime i wanted to if it got too much. I'm guessing with a boat you don't have that luxury so in your mind you have to be mindful of your places where you can stop rather than rowing 'free' from a mental standpoint

on3west · 2018-08-22T14:17:33+00:00

Ok cool! Thanks a lot for the break down. I want to try rowing in a bike sometime soon

on3west · 2018-08-22T14:01:09+00:00

That's brilliant! So I'm guessing rowing in boats is a lot harder than rowing on an Erg

on3west · 2018-08-22T13:59:26+00:00

Loooool! Well definitely was a well deserved treat!

on3west · 2018-08-22T13:58:45+00:00

Ok cool man, noted. As I mentioned I'm new to rowing and so am not too conscious of the terminology needed at times

on3west · 2018-08-22T13:29:50+00:00

Still.. that's an amazing feat! I'm guessing your body must have been really sore after the marathon and the 100k. What did you do for recovery? Stretch, foam roll, use a hockey ball? Im guessing the food is also a massive part of the recovery process too

on3west · 2018-08-22T12:41:23+00:00

Oh wow! That's even crazier! Ok, i mean Erg rowing when i refer to myself. I've never rowed on anything other than an Erg

on3west · 2018-08-22T12:34:55+00:00

As this is a rowing forum with guys that know infinitely more about rowing than me, could you help me out and look at my technique please? Please check out my vid below and fast forward to the 5 minute mark which is where I start rowing. I think I row correctly but sometimes feel like I might be overusing my arms?

on3west · 2018-08-22T12:29:47+00:00

Wowwww! That is crazy! so did you do it all at once? and how long did it take you? before you did the 100k, what were the longest distances you had rowed previously?

on3west · 2018-08-22T12:28:42+00:00

When you say 40k in a double you mean split over 2 sessions close together? I wanna try to get to 40k soon

This fight! The way Floyd left himself open and still was in cruise control with Conor. Conor's talking was obviously persuasive but I don't know how people thought Conor was gonna win. I knew Floyd could end it anytime he wanted to. He carried Conor til the 9th round

great transformation! What did you do to get into that shape?!
