And for whoever was making the claim that this is too trivial to
concern ourselves with, reasoning that the novice will now lose by 28
instead of 29 seconds, is missing the mark completely. Not much

LOL. oh brother. I think I remember some post of
yours last week about how how people ought to
open up their minds, actually READ other people's posts,
and use their ability to reason,to talk
through this stuff rationally to try to come to
understandings. I let it sit there of course. :^)

Oh, must have been you. Things were getting mighty confused in the
tangle.

matters for the novice at all, other than keeping the round bit down,
and learning to relax a bit. That said, no point in making them figure
it out through trial and error, when it could be explained up front
rather easily.

I guess. But I'm not a very good coach, people don't usually
learn how to row very well when I explain it to them. Usually it
takes hours and years of teaching.

I've found real life practice to help also. Just so long as there is
some form of objective feedback. Otherwise the "pulling like hell",
truly is, and not in a good way.

I'll try to learn to explain it better, save some time! </sarcasm>

Where was the <sarcasm>?


I thought this was worth discussing because it could benefit the rower
at the highest level of performance, where there is not much room to
improve physiologically and technique is about it.

The rower at the highest level of performance is probably not reading
this forum, especially yours and my contributions.

It is worth discussing, I've learned something from you and Carl and KC
about the meanings of systems in motion - very interesting.

Thanks

Okay, so we should not bother with this at all apparently.
Posting philosophy, "any answer will do."?

What was it you have learned? That would indeed be interesting.
