With our next 2k coming up soon, this is a great opportunity to focus on a few tactical aspects of the 2k and finalize our race plan for the big day. Try to keep a consistent pace over all 8 or “negative split” toward the end if you’re feeling good. Negative splitting means you pull a faster split than you did the last piece.
As a quick review for novice rowers, race pace over 2,000m will be at a stroke rating of 28 − 32 strokes per minute and a consistent 500m split. The lower the split the better. Good things to focus on include breathing, getting the knees down, driving through the heels, quick hands, and being smooth. I also like to coach a smile or grin 10 just to take yourself out of your body for a second, have some fun, and then refocus with a fresh mindset. Focus on one positive thought for 10 consecutive strokes and you’ll be that much closer to your goal.
If you choose to do the conditioning and strength today be sure to work in plenty of mobility, especially for those pistols. Try Barbell Smashing the quads and calves to get through that pistol easier.
Have fun and get after it!
