03:00 This past week - Learn to row classes; Peer to Peer Coaching Clinics and new masters at Knowlton Rowing Club

08:00 Gardening and rowing - over use injuries.

12:00 Troubleshooting body sequencing. Video first so you know what you're doing

13:00 The recovery - know the sequence you want. Arms - body - slide.

Feeling unstable when putting the blades in the water.

Setting the body angle - twice or once?

Moving up the slide "like an accordion"

17:00 The power phase - the sequence is legs - back - arms.

Only use each body part once per stroke.

Drills to emphasise the sequence - Legs only rowing; legs and backs; legs back and arms. Then blend them together.

24:00 Legs only drill. Blades on the water reinforces the horizontal power - level handles.

Mark the blade shaft 40 cms up from where the blade joins the shaft. Use white tape and use this as a marker to ensure the blade isn't too deep.

29:00 Blade depth while stationary - check it.

The slope of the oars to the water matters and is affected by boat depth in the water.

40:00 Finish at the xiphoid process - demonstrates the oarlocks are set at the correct height.
