05:00 Funny animal stories from rowers
16:00 Do rowing gloves work or is it faster to develop callouses?
22:30 Should you opt for a higher pin height using spacers unless the water is flat?
Your oar goes to the centre of gravity. If you are high, your hands are higher than your centre of gravity.
Set at the correct height you shouldn't have to change rigging - altering the rigging doesn't help rough water rowing.

26:00 Thoughts about carrying water or a sports drink in the boat
Rebecca interviewed Dr Stacy Sims who says you should get your calories from food and your hydration from water. Water gives best absorption with a teaspoon of maple syrup and a pinch of salt. The glucose base absorbs better into the body than fructose.

Go by your thirst. It's a good habit to have water with you in the boat.
32:30 How do you determine stroke versus bow in a double scull?
Be flexible. The best combination is the one that makes you go fastest for the race you are training for. Try switching seats. You need a good mindset in the stroke seat.
43:40 How to keep your muscles warm during a long wait before the start of a race?

Tapotement - gentle vibration stimulation of your muscles. "rapid and repeated striking of the body as a technique in massage."
