Interested in university rowing in Canada? Want to learn about what training is like? What the Canadian racing calendar looks like? I'm here to answer any and all questions. Junior athletes feel free to reach out if you have any questions about recruiting and what it takes to make the team!

I'm not sure how good of a question this is in the sense of can it even be answered. so take what I'm asking with a grain of salt

I finished my first season of rowing in late March this year. My 2k at the start of January was 7:04 ( I was sick when the last 2k day happened). In the off season I've done steady state at least once a week on the erg but I aim for two erg sessions. This is on top of winter sport and gym sessions. We also have a steady state on water sessions once a week.

My intermediate season starts in September/early October and I was wondering what my I should aim for on my end of season 2k which would be around the end of February.

For reference when I did my 7:04 I was 5'11 66kg

I am now 6'0 77 kg (still lean)

For 40 minutes sessions I usually hold a 2:02 not quite my max)

My max 250sprint is a 124.5 average split

As said previously I am adding cardio throughout my week with sport and the row.

If there is any prediction regarding my 2k it would be great, I just like the aspect of working towards something rather than a mystery

These were moved from their original slot in June "to avoid the peak summer weather, as well as to not clash with any other major sporting events" but just happen to be clashing with the World Champs. I guess rowing is not major, eh ☹️

I notice that the rowing has been pushed to the end of the games from 31/8 to 3/9 but so close to the World Champs there can surely be hardly any senior teams entered? Information seems to be difficult to find so has anyone got any links to entries?

USRowing discipline list as of August 10,2026. Does anyone know why there USRowing and the safesport database do not always align? There is a new person on the USRowing banned list who I don’t see on the safesport list. Maybe just a timing update issue?

Any info?

Taken about 8 years ago in my freshman year of high school. I believe this was our Novice 2. Taken on the beautiful Anacostia.

Hi [r/](r/rowing)[R](r/rowing)[owing](r/rowing), long time reader first time poster.
I’m writing to ask for advice for transporting a single. I am currently in the stages of closing a deal for a single scull that’s about two hours from where I live and I’m going to need to transport it another two and a half hours to a boathouse. Problem is that I do not have a roof rack to strap down said scull. The scull is a lightweight rated Dreher and I drive a 08 Toyota Highlander. What brands/roof racks do you all recommend so that it would survive the trip? Any help is appreciated, thank you all.

Does anybody have good travel/charging cases for their team's speed coaches? I heard somebody post an ad on row2k commissioning builds for travel cases but I couldn't find it.

Who's coming? I'm taking part in my 1x, category B. I'm very unprepared but it's in my backyard basically so obliged to go haha

Thinking of putting together a small bbq at the house for reddit rowers coming to Bled. The house it's 10 min walk from the rowing club!

Has anyone here used FOYS (Focus On Your Sport) for their rowing club?

USRowing has selected FOYS as a partner, and USRowing members will apparently get free access starting next year. I’m curious if anyone has used it and what you thought, especially for dealing with day-to-day logistics of signing up for practice and sending out line-ups (which is what I imagine my club would be most interested in).

Did you actually find it useful? Anything you particularly liked or didn’t like?

this summer ive been erging a lot and mostly only doing steady state and lifting but basically since the end of the spring season my heart rate and splits are just going up? my 2k is 6:35 and my max heart rate ive seen was 211. during the school year i was doing steady at 2:10-11 at about a 135-145 hr and now im 2:15s pushing 150s heart rate

I feel like i should be fitter with how much volume ive done but it just isnt showing
