its a rower thing @icantihavecrew - Tumblr Blog

It’s never too late to start! Ray Clark began at 98 years old and now at 102 with the help of his 70 year old #trainer can curl 40lbs, work out vigorously on the #rowing machine and more importantly has staved off many of the ailments that come with #old age. This was all after he lost his wife of 67 years and his daughter. There are no excuses…its never too late regardless of what #physical or mental state you’re in!

General feeling of being a novice

OMMMGGG i love your tumblr!!! I have literally been on it for two hours...

ahahah thanks!! :D that happens a lot on tumblr i find...

how long have you been rowing and what do you focus on when you erg? I don't know what to think about because when i stare at my screen I start to lose my mind but when i look around, my split goes down

ive been rowing for 3 years now, when i erg i mostly just focus on my goals for that particular piece, what i want to accomplish and why i am doing it. I also like to play number games in my head with all the different numbers on the screen split/distance/split per 500/time/etc., or i tell myself i want to finish a certain distance in a certain time, like if i get to the 3000 meter to go point of a 4k or soemthing like that that and im at like 25 min and 10 seconds(not really) then i do whatever i can to finish in under 20 min (take power 10s at ever 500 or every 1k)
