[shutskate]

Does UChicago have any lightweight crews?

[UChicagoRowing]

@shutskate

Yes. Uchicago's LW 8+ made it to finals at ACRAs and the LW4+ beat the Harvard LWT boat at the Head of the Charles LW4+

what level was this test done on 1-10?

[UChicagoRowing]

@grogy69

the drag factor was set to 115.

[theSculler]

Cool?? Argh... Useful sure it is, but cool... We used to do this at least once a year, and i hated the thing. The pipe has to be rather long, so you end up breathing the same air over and over. As if it weren't painful enough :^)

[blueduderanch]

what did he get for the test?

[snackweight]

that extra arms only pull after the first stroke was weird. do you do that for races on the water?

[UChicagoRowing]

No the "extra arm pull" thing is most likley just his way of doing a quick start. On the water the first 4 strokes were 3/4, 1/2, 3/4, Full. On an erg test I try and coach the rowers to not fly and die and quickly get the wheel spinning, but then settle right into their target splits.

[AxelPRC]

you realise that is actually slower on an erg. try do an all out sprint over 100m on the erg you will find its faster to just row normally rather than doing a racing start

cool test

Garrett is so photogenic.
