Doing your best race

It’s not easy to perform under pressure.  And Head Racing is a special kind of challenge.  There are many unexpected things that happen – from weather and wind to overtaking another crew.

  • Do you know your ideal rating?
  • What about race day mindset?
  • How to cox a long race without repeating calls?

The risk is that you won’t do your best race.  And you only get one shot at a head race.

I rowed faster in 2024 and 2025 thanks to Faster Masters Rowing. I look forward to what I'll accomplish when the new indoor rowing season starts May 1st. All simply by following the monthly training plans for 1,000 and 2,000 meter goals.
