Congratulations Cam! 4 X 2k in one day at race pace... how did you feel after that? Amazing fitness levels 💪💪

[@CameronBuchan]

Was definitely ready for a sleep at the end of the day that's for sure!

[@jameswalker2998]

Pas mal 👌c'est clair

[@MrBradleykeith]

Great to watch your outstanding efforts, and the awesome results thereof. Well deserved and I hope it's a good omen of things to comes!

[@jamesmay6895]

Terrific video 👏 giving a wonderful insight into the championships and the racing experience. Fair play to your remarkable hosts. Also what beautiful weather.

[@CameronBuchan]

Much better than last year!

[@Lunarnova6]

I think i have to send this video to my team to get them to stop complaining about the docks being too tall, the ones at this championship are huge! Either way, awesome job and awesome results! And awesome looking foodthatisfuel!

[@CameronBuchan]

Have to get in the water at some point! 😂

[@georgecallaghan6007]

Great video! I was looking at your merch shop, do you happen to know when your unisuits will be restocked/ new design of unisuits will be released?

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks! New ones are currently in process of being tested but won't be released until all tests are complete. Unfortunately no set time for that

[@skude3]

Love that you’re back to uploading!

[@CameronBuchan]

It's a new season!

[@boomerang883]

Great job Cam, you really gave it some patate douce

[@jeanellingson6845]

Congratulations Cam! Wonderful to see you back where you belong.

[@emilyhops2566]

Brill vid too, by the way! Amusing, exciting, nice scenery 😘

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you!

[@rowyeah456]

Beautiful racing cam, thanks for bringing us along, and french national champion what a title, well earned

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks for coming along with me!

[@benjaminwiebe5631]

Hey Cameron, amazing video, I was hoping that you can show a little bit more of how you guys strap your boats. Would be very interesting to know

[@CameronBuchan]

You can see in the video when taking the boat off the trailer the strap is wrapped around the boat and onto trailer

[@benjaminwiebe5631]

My question particular is. What you do with the extra strap length. I've been told many different things from different coaches. And i'm curious know what you guys do

[@benjaminwiebe5631]

4:08 is where I'm looking

[@CameronBuchan]

@@benjaminwiebe5631 they are universal straps so you just tie up the loose ends

[@SteveSinclair1]

Fantastic result, great content and well shot video

[@CameronBuchan]

Much appreciated Steve!

[@micahmalloy]

Way to go, Cam! Thanks for posting again.

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks for watching!

[@venite_makes_things]

Congrats on some fantastic results! Was that 8 a secondhand Deutschland 8? Super special to row in a boat with such pedigree.

[@peterwmiller8486]

Congratulations Cam! You rock!!

[@spirit4337]

YEAAA CAM

[@seanredmond9935]

Congrats Cam,great work and great vids 💪💪

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks Sean!

[@1Hominid]

Well done champ! 👏👏

[@rowyeah456]

LETS GO CAM

[@Nomads_Rowing]

Excellent food, excellent racing, excellent results ….. 🥉🥇 and no hailstones!🥳

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you and thank goodness!

[@emilyhops2566]

Congratulations!!!!! Brill news! I watch your vids, have i missed the explanation of you rowing for a french club, how come, and can you speak french?

[@CameronBuchan]

I have raced with them last year. They invited me over and is good fun! I am not fluent but can understand enough!

[@andyhall7032]

interesting to cover doping as this is rarely discussed I wonder how many positive tests occur at international level year round - I suspect EPO is almost certain to be used by some athletes.

[@CameronBuchan]

For rowing you rarely see any positive tests. I think I've heard about 1 in the past couple of years and that wasn't in the international rowing scene. I would have no idea what is used 😂

[@markfrancis258]

Well done Cam fantastic results 🏅🏅for you and crew excellent video as well 😊

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you!

[@v.k.s9851]

Hi, what is the boat model 8+?

[@guillaumemarcus967]

Congrats, i held you boat there!

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you!

[@BernhardKohli]

Congratulations!! This is probably a dumb question - were those all 2k rows? 6 in total --> you could carry me off in a stretcher😂 I only did an official 2k row once, on a concept2, and it was one of the most excruciating experiences ever!

[@CameronBuchan]

Yes all were 2k!

[@mikemalloy1681]

I have a comment, and I will state for the record that you know a lot more about rowing than I ever will. But, at age 76, I have been involved in sports and competitions for 60+ years. My thesis is based on your results at the French Nationals. It appears that you are a stronger sweeper than sculler. The Olympic trials are slowly approaching. It would seem that if you could attach yourself to a top pairs team or 8's until after the trials you would stand a better chance of: 1. Participating in the Olympics, and 2. Medaling in the Olympics.

[@richiejames928]

How long is each of these peices? 2k? I’m very very new to rowing. absolutely loving it but very clueless. Glued to the C2.

[@CameronBuchan]

Yes indeed. Generally you won't see many races side by side that aren't 2k

[@richiejames928]

@@CameronBuchan ah thanks for that Cam. didn’t feel long enough with the footage to be 2k. but then you guys are rapid so what do I know haha

[@CameronBuchan]

@@richiejames928 the video would have been more than an hour long with the whole race! Only put the start and finish of each race!

[@richiejames928]

@@CameronBuchan that makes sense. Cheers Cam

[@JFEngel-ik6vs]

Really cool vlog! Is the language barrier an issue for you? I'd imagine that coxing in French would throw me off it I didn't speak or understand it reasonably well.

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks! No not particularly!

[@Nomads_Rowing]

I hope that’s not a spoiler and you’re just about to consume two extra large chocolate coins - Food Is Fuel!! 😎

[@CameronBuchan]

Will have to see on Sunday!

[@Nomads_Rowing]

What ……… they’re not chocolate!!!!

[@mondeodave07]

Well dome man

[@kaltehenne]

Was that boat from the Deutschlandachter before, or did the club order it that way?

[@CameronBuchan]

Yes indeed. Spoke a little about that in previous video!

[@kaltehenne]

@@CameronBuchan Oh nice, gonna watch that one real quick hahah

[@papikedeaneton981]

Et vous qui n’êtes pas nantais, écoutez la Loire chanter 💙❤️

[@NicolasCoassin-EspritDEquipe]

Super plan d'eau c'est clair et Bravo pour votre classement des clubs cette année 🏆

[@oscar12346]

if I padelled up to the start line and saw a green empacher 8, I would almost shit myself

[@alexdamtberyoutube3591]

Bro i was literally there for the u23

[@CameronBuchan]

Nice!

[@MairiBuchan]

Comment ça veut dire yeet en français?

[@CameronBuchan]

Le Yeet

[@davemathew]

2 dudes....1 tub.

[@jaspertidmarsh6399]

Just curious, do you speak/understand french or are do you not understand a word?

[@CameronBuchan]

I understand and speak a little 👍🏻

[@gordongruber1]

Do you speak french?

[@CameronBuchan]

I'm not fluent but can communicate!

[@rockyl9863]

Great Job, do you know french? or were you just fallowing everybody else

[@CameronBuchan]

I know enough French

[@kacyinix4428]

Really nice to hear that the lads are using ice baths in a scientifically informed manner! Perfect example of how high level athletes should use cold therapy.

[@jonathanr5238]

That's a brutal day at work broski! nicely played

[@CameronBuchan]

But good fun!
