There is nothing harder. I've raced for many years many different challenges. I discovered rowing through CrossFit and fell in love. For 4 years I've been pursuing the 2k. Triathlon distances of every kind, running and cycling distances, OCR, competitive CF. Nothing touches a 2k for the level of suck. Even a timed mile on the track or 5 k bike test. Thanks Cam for all these videos and sharing your journey.
The level of suck of a 2k is amazing. You can feel on top of the world one stroke and then fall completely down the next. Thanks for the support Graham! #yamsquad
@cameron buchan I visited Henley royal regatta on Wednesday morning and didn’t see you when I walked by Leander club and I’m pretty sad I didn’t get to meet you but anyway good luck for your 2k tmrw let’s get ittt.
Hey Cam, I found out that Hugh Laurie was a member of Leander. He should've been close to your levels of fitness as an aspiring Olympic rower for GB. Do you know anything about his exploits and 2k PBs? Of course, that was in the BC2 (Before Concept2) era.
@@CameronBuchan, been watching some Blackadder and Jeeves & Wooster recently. It's amazing that a twit on screen like Bertie Wooster in real life was capable of a 6 min 2k just a few years before. Unbelievable!
Hey cam by any chance do you know what the big red coat you keep wearing is called it just looks so warm? (and will compliment the yamsquad beanie perfectly ahahah)
@@CameronBuchan great thanks so much I was struggling to find the other and yeah exactly no one believes me when I tell them it's warmer in London than the north 😂 And good luck for tomorrow!!
Hi Cameron There is a Video From Adam Neill of 2013 in TH-cam where he rows a 5:48 is he faster today? Probably you cant tell that but thanks for an answer From you
Do you have any advice for mental toughness on the erg? I have the potential to go fast but at various points in my ergs my brain tells me there’s a long way to go and I can’t do it and then I rapidly slow down and it affects my overall performance massively 🙁
Best of luck Cam!! See if you can break 5:50 tomorrow I know you can!!

Do you ever get tired of breaded egg toast? That seems to be your number one meal haha :) Best of luck for the 2k!
I can't imagine being tired of such a delicacy! 😂 #yamsquad
@@CameronBuchan You gotta make it a egg sandwich. It's amazing with some melted cheese in between as well.
Good luck for tomorrow! Yam on it......
That's the plan! #yamsquad
YAM SQUAD!!! Love the vids
Hey cam by any chance do you know what the big red coat you keep wearing is called it just looks so warm? (and will compliment the yamsquad beanie perfectly ahahah)
I do, it's a North face vostok jacket. Not sure if it's available anymore!
@@CameronBuchan thanks so much cam I will be looking into it, I'm going home for Christmas and training in Northeast will be cold ahahha
That's why I got mine initially! That Northeast weather is something else! I think the mcmurdo is an equivalent of it and isn't discontinued!

I'll try and ask him for you! #yamsquad
have a PB on tomorrow's trial, keep it up and sleep well
Give it a rip
Did an hour yesterday. Was starting to drag at the end.
It's a long way! Fuelling is critical!
