Concept II Rowing machine How do I save my time?

Question

I row at school and never seem to get a very good time for a 2k test but I go to a gym and sometimes I beat my score by a lot. How can I prove to my rowing coach that I have set that time on a CONCEPT II ROWING MACHINE.

Answer 1

Before I did my 2K i asked my coach. He told me the first 10-15 strokes you should try your hardest to get your split down. This should bring you down to about 1850 meters. After that you should settle in at a split that is not too comfortable but is maintainable. Keep that split until you get to about 300 meters left where you should sprint rest of the way. If you do this your 2k time should drop. Before doing a 2k I recommend eating a banana, it keeps cramps away. And just remember stay calm and breath it helps.

Answer 2

Well I own a Concept 2, so I just save my scores on my card....you could have one of your teammates or your actual coxswain cox you ...or at least watch so they can tell your coach what time you got.

*have them write it on a piece of paper so they don't forget.*
