So we just started this blog to keep anyone who is interested up to date on what we have been doing and how our training has been going. Since this is the first post, I figured I'd give you all a little bit of background information on our training.
We are rowing at the GMS Rowing Center in New Milford, CT, coached by Guenter "G-Man" Beutter. GMS is the site of both the Men's and Women's Lightweight U23 Quad camps so we've been sharing our training time with a girl's quad that also qualified for U23 Worlds. We've been at this camp since June 8th and most of our time has been spent in the quad with the current line-up so hopefully our experience together will help us out at Worlds. A lot of our training is long steady state rows but recently, we've done a lot of race-pace pieces. We've had some pretty good results recently so we're looking forward to racing over in the Czech Republic next week. Things start to get pretty exciting from here on out so keep checking the blog to hear about our training and race results.

Guys-
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the training... I stroked the U23 hwt 4x in '97 in Milan... I'll be following the blog and the results.
Word of advice- lots of time at full pressure in the lanes... steering was tough and can make a big difference... we addressed this element too late and really hurt us. If there's a cross or headwind it might be an important part of the race.
good luck!
