I am tall and gumby, and this really affects my ability to perform at my best in small boats. I have the pairs matrix and single trials coming up soon, and was wandering if you had any advice on how to help myself perform at my best.

[drtorqueP90XCoach]

@22458 - i think u would have some coaches around to get their opinions. whatever id try to say would probably be too general. after spending time in fitness, now i think one thing id do would be power yoga.. not only stretching, really yoga. as a double maybe. with one session ud understand the little but different contribution itll make. and second thing would be, shorter but more intense workouts then our coaches always made us do long long long..

hey, i want to get my own scull. But i don't have a lot of money to spend on one. What do you recommend for a brand? What's your's?

Also, i used to be on a team and rowed in 8, but only one time in a single. Would i be fine practicing on my own? It would be a calm lake...

thanks so much!

[drtorqueP90XCoach]

@pbcmbeez22 its great to see such determined ppl : ) but i recommend first practicing for a while at a nearby boathouse. the next step would probably be keeping an eye on second hand boats.. im just making it up if are around boston probably tons of boats available there.. craigslist?? boathouses also have some turnover of ppl buying selling. this boathouse ive been to is in austin TX, 2.5 hrs from houston. i go everyother month on average. i highly recommend following up with such a community.

@drtorqueP90XCoach I found a used Maas 1x. Is that a good boat? It's about 10 years old, and it comes with dreher hatchet oars

[drtorqueP90XCoach]

@pbcmbeez22 i never rowed a maas. and never heard them in worlds let alone olympics.. but so what?? ur first car wasnt a mercedes i suppose.. if the price is right go for it brother. i dont have a boat, if i lived close to a boathous and had some cash at my expense id buy one. for now, i have a 2010 concept 2 D, rails, rear shox box..$1500-2000 system. ask about the boat to the ppl from that boathouse, if accident, how was it taken care of... ull do a lot of customization anyways..

@austinburma1 ive been rowing it for a year and a half and my best (with a fairly strong headwind and head current) was a 6:07 im 15 y/o

[austinburma1]

can you guys help me with what a good 1500 meter on the water would be, because im new to rowing in a single and i look at times and get mixed results some are 5:29 some are like 6:30

[HumackHoldfast]

Also Depending on your weight and ability for a scull. I own a Sykes Mould 20 "Ultimate". When rowed properly it's the fastest scull on the water. but i wouldn't recomend it to anyone over 80kg. Generally try to avoid anything made in a chinese production line. always go for a shell thats been built by a person

[HumackHoldfast]

screw the start. the race is usually 2000m long. as long as you stay in the boat and dont dick about too much it really wont make a difference. Just watch any of Mahe Drysdales World Championship races. dropped out of blocks like a sack of spuds. won the race over the full distance. same with Zac Purchase. As long as your confident and can play the long game what ever happens at the start wont matter.

[k2477456]

maas is a very nice boat

[k2477456]

@22458 ill just tell you i am a single sculler and my best start piece and favorive is a 1-1-3 3/4 1/2 3/4 3/4 3/4 power 15then keep high rate for 20 more strokes settle at a 32-34 then sprint at 300 to go
