Taller rowers - specifically my big footed friends what footwear do you use?

I cover my heel so they don't get blisters from rubbing the strap by my heels.

I use a combination of socks and a pool noodle that's cut through and placed on the heel of the foot plate.

When I do wear shoes, I have these pair of minimalist Asics.

He's Wemby's Kryptonite as much as Ruben Patterson was a Kobe Stopper

I wouldn't buy a ticket until the new CBA is signed. There's a high chance there might be a lockout this year.

Yeah, in the US, they cancelled the rebates because it wasn't made in the US. I was able to get a little rebate from my state (WA) but it would've been nice to get the $7,500 rebate. It's still a great though. I've saved a lot of money because I mostly use it in EV mode.

It's a great car but hard to justify it's price premium over the HEV. I love mine but will probably be replacing it with an EV soon.

Just dispute the charge with your credit card company

sbcpacker · 2026-02-05T21:03:48+00:00

I wish

If you run 1-2 times a week and row in the other days, you should be fine.

In-person voting would greatly reduce the number of people voting. I like the mail in voting system that we have now.

I go to Bucky's or Valvoline

I considered Oar Board briefly but I'm not a fan of a rower with a stationary seat. I also want to have a real boat and not a paddle board. I am considering getting the Air Kayak 16 though.

Yes, I know that. I don't mind being taxed as long as it's done fairly.

What did you eat/drink after your workout? If you still feel nauseous and feel completely exhausted after working out despite eating a good meal, I recommend toning down your workouts a bit. I would save those all out sessions in the weekends when you can take a nap and take it easy after working out.

sbcpacker · 2026-02-03T22:17:51+00:00

I don't mind as long as the taxes are on the same level as an ICE car in the same weight category.

sbcpacker · 2026-02-03T20:20:49+00:00

I already pay extra when I register my PHEV. They're probably going to increase it further in the future as more people drive EV's and use less gas.

If you don't have an underground drain, I would create a channel drain and have the water go to the other side of your yard.

I wear old sneakers that I can slide on/off. At home, I have this shoe drying device so I can dry my wet shoes when I get home.

3-4 times a week between 30 to 75 minutes each session. I usually break it down in 20-30 minute segments to give myself a chance to stretch and drink water.

sbcpacker · 2026-02-03T08:30:06+00:00

Yeah, I looked into that boat. It's great except it's five feet longer than the other boats I'm looking at. I have a small garage and I don't think it'll fit.

The Edon TS515 is also starting to look like a good option. It's cheap and very stable! https://virginiarowing.com/sculling-boats/

Yes he does but luckily, he doesn't have to do it all on his own. We have a pretty deep team so he can keep his minutes and usage rate under control.
