  2. Damn Fletcher, you crushed me again. I think from a practical standpoint I probably did not use proper strategery on this bad boy with 32 calories out of the gate.

  3. 32??!? I pulled hard on the first one and it came out as 26. I don't know how you did that.

  4. Craig - you might want to play with your damper settings. When you do post what your settings are they tend to be on the upper range. Play with the dampers setting to find your drag coefficient. A strong, powerful rower has a drag coefficient of 132-135. Here is a video explaining damper setting.

  5. Dave, that is an interesting video. Do you by chance have a link to the video that explains how to link your strokes so you can row faster with less work? Now that sounds like Christmas in April to me.

  6. I remember "experimenting" on one of our WODs a while back... it was one that had a bunch of 100M or 250M sprints (can't remember) and I think for that distance a 6 was best. Depends on the workout too I think. It would be interesting to try a 2K on 3 1/2 or so.

  7. I couldn't find the video that the I linked came from. Would be nice to find.
    Here are some articles and videos on rowing.

    I did play with my drag coefficient last week and I am currently rowing at about 4 1/2. I want to say my drag coefficient is 120.
