I really appreciate your attempt to explain the psychological warfare you go through. I have done a lot of sport and a fair amount of endurance stuff in my life - never have I had to face the torment and doubt I found waiting for me every time I fall into the "Dark Zone" on the beast that is the rowing erg. I can train and prepare - but if I can't conquer my mind at around 800m ... I am screwed! It's terrifying.
Is performance on the machine a reasonable predictor of performance on the water for the beach sprints? There are so many more variables compared to flat water rowing.
Hello, I am 176 cm tall and my arms are short, do you think that despite this I still have a chance to achieve success in big competitions? I ride at a pace of 34 and I weigh 72.5 kg. Despite this, it's hard for me to compete with the best, is it worth increasing the pace to 37? I don't have that much strength against the wind.
Terrific video Cam, great explanation 👍
Good job Cam!
Great to see improvement on 2 out of 3 events. Couldn't help but think that Versa was good training for this with the multiple events in a day.

Strong erging brother! Good advice for the 1km to focus on breathing.
Settling at 1:25 🥶
Love the visibility of the PM5….!! 😂
Power💪 well done
Cam, if I am not mistaken you did 6 strokes not 7 !
You are not mistaken but that’s ok, I felt the power coming down!

Very similar to flat water rowing in that no it’s not a very good predictor!
awesome job on the 1k!!!
Love the t shirt 🎉

Hello! Technique and fitness make up a large portion of speed in rowing! 💪
I live in San Francisco,ÇA. How can I purchase the Yamsquad orange t-shirt? Please provide link. Thanks

What's with the drag factor of 138? Is there a science behind it? Or did you use 138 last time and want a proper base for comparison?
No science just requirement for the trials
