Impact of multiple races in a day

No, ergs don't yet float, but some of us do, and here's where you get to discuss that other form of rowing.

Impact of multiple races in a day

Post by rowingmillie » May 28th, 2015, 12:00 am

Interested in your thoughts on the impact of multiple races in a day - I am a masters OTW rower, we race over 1000m and during a regatta can have a number of races in a day (typically ~4, heats and final for 2 events). Obviously the heats are rowed at an easier pace than the finals. If the finals are say 4hours apart, is this enough to be fully recovered? Or will any event after the first final (assuming it is hard!) suffer to some extent from the earlier effort?

Thanks in advance!
