Re: Foot straps and othe questions
I'm no rowing coach. But I would say that stroke is short of your potential. I'm 179cm size 12 feet in position 1. My stroke length is 1.30 to 1.36. I would say Jon's is very healthy at 1.45 to 1.48 Have a look at this YouTube clip. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_G6kUbc-hl4 Squat university is well...

Re: Injuries.....:(
Just spent five hours in the hospital getting my leg imobilized after I managed to severly sprain my ankle at the farm this weekend. One week in a cast, with probably about 10 sessions of physio following that. And today I was going to start the Pete Plan. Heh ho. Be back in a few weeks hopefully, Woj

Bugger me, that was hard.
878m. First time I have made into Team Boat 1.
I know it is not for long, but it feels good nonetheless.
