The thought that someone can sit down and row 4 sub-6:10 2Ks on 2 minutes makes me realize that I have to focus on just getting better, because I will never, ever, ever, be anything close to this good!

Amazing!... but what happened on the second split, then? Definitely some room for improvement.

I think this may have been done as a tandem row on a dynamic erg. Then again, It's still WAY ahead of anything I could ever achieve.

Do you mean by linking the machines with a dynamic link? Would that make things any faster?Paul Victory wrote:I think this may have been done as a tandem row on a dynamic erg. Then again, It's still WAY ahead of anything I could ever achieve.

Hi Greg,
I think Paul means the two Kiwis, who are arguably the best rowers pound for pound in the world right now-I think they beat Andy Triggs Hogg and Pete Reed a dozen times before they were forced to go into a 4 !, both use dynamice ergs.
I suspect as Paul suggests that they took turns at this, its still pretty impressive rowing-the taller one-Eric Murray rowed 18728m in the 2012 season on a dynamic erg-thats 1:36.1 pace !
I struggle to do that for 500m
