not sure I should be joining this superman thread (but I will!) for me: - keep the feet high - the DF around 170/180 rather than max is better as if too high it makes the first strokes slower not faster and there aren't enough to catch up - getting down fast is the secret (altho I agree that 1:21 is...

yes @Grantmatt it has been discussed many times over many years although typically it is raised by 80+kg men rather than 76ish because there is no doubt that on a race day you could easily go <75 and race as a lwt. (I know of guys around 78+ who can get down with a week of discipline). If I were you...

If you are trying to row sr20 with a high df you will using a lot of strength overcoming the slowing fan - you really want it to be just spinning along with that terrific whooshing noise.

doing back to back 2ks like that is very impressive Dave especially solo at a distance
5 boats pretty good too for May

"I must keep any eye out for virtual competitions though, were do you see them posted ?" Get on British Rowing mail list is one way and keep your eye on this forum's competition thread is another.
