Here is 2024. appreciate your perspective. Thanks for this great insight. Is professional rowing still using jockeys? I imagine we're pretty close to that being computer driven so there's no variation other than the rower.
People who have never really gotten serious about rowing will never understand the intensity. Being a runner over 30 years then a rower for 15 before I had to quit I would say that changing to rowing completely shocked me. It's a whole other level of pain at high levels. Feels like every single muscle is burning, every molecule in your body is shouting STOP at the top of it's voice but you have to be mentally strong enough to keep going. That's where the real battle is - in your mind. Can you over come the pain? On several occasions shortly after a race I was one the floor writhing and feeling like throwing up. That's the intensity you get with rowing. Wish I could go back in time. But alas, time is against us all. Another long race...
Amazing you didn’t use back arms!! Mind you that is a pretty innovative rigger design for the times! I was coached by Marty’s brother Dave😁. How heavy was the camera on the stern?
Great video - Im from New Zealand and back in the day you Xeno and Rob had some fantastic battles. I remember seeing you win in Atlanta 1996 , then Rob in 2000. I met Rob through my work once and I asked him who his toughest opponent was and he said it was easy.....you Xeno. He has huge amounts of respect for you not just as a Rower but as a human and good friend.Cheers Sam :).
7:05 I've wanted to try that knee break, just as soon as the power comes off to relax my quads. No success so far, can barely train consistently now that I'm past my student phase and into my 30s with a full time + job.
Ксено на финишной 500 ке как от стоячих уходит и от немца и от канадца, при этом и на третьей пятистоке сократил отставание. Проиграл на первой тысяче около 2 секунд на второй части выиграл 6 ! Это очень прилично, особенно когда в заезде опытный и титулованный Томас Ланге.
Hi…I see it’s been 8 months since your surgery, but it seems to be your last update. Hire are you feeling about your results 8 months in. I would love to return to rowing but I’m having similar issues as you were
