Scrimmaged a local club crew on saturday. Took 2 of 3 pieces against them. On our best piece, we did 1000m in 2:48, taking a length of open. Midwest Championships are Sunday in Oak Ridge, Tenn. I'm so damn psyched.
Laid down one of our worst pieces of the year yesterday. We started sloppy, settled to too high a rate, and didn't respond well when the cox called for moves. We ended up coming in 3rd at Midwest, and two boats in the 2V8 qualify for SRAA nationals. So this is the end of my high school rowing career. I'm crushed.
Is anyone at IRA this weekend? I've heard about a bit of debris out there on the course. Any other news? Predictions?
Can anyone remind me the proper or most efficient way to be pushing through your feet during the stroke?
Yeah, pretty much. I've seen very few rowers with the ankle flexibility to keep the heels down at the catch. There's a bit of ambiguity in your phrase "finish with the heel". I've found my best results have come from getting the heels down relatively quickly (by half-slide if not sooner), but I think your drag factor and some other stylistic matters could possibly make a difference.
A newbie question, do you guys wear gloves to protect from blisters, if so what's recommended please?
