Met Regatta Prep

[@garywhite6900]

Truth is you are as ready as you can be and you'll dig deeper with competitors around. Give it to it, you can do it!

[@CameronBuchan]

Yes indeed!

[@pally8868]

Loved that bit of 360 in the middle 👍

[@fbg7934]

Godspeed at the Met! Put some Yam on it

[@Crony_The_Cret]

Dorney was horrid today gusts up to 36! Good luck tomorrow. (I know you won’t struggle)

[@juniorbeasthawk4266]

Looking smoooooth!

[@CameronBuchan]

Paid off at Met!

[@markbauld2321]

Huge congrats on the double win!

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks Mark! Videos coming soon

[@Nomads_Rowing]

Really interesting to see your thoughts on splits and rates that suit you when training plus see your splits from a 1K piece as we’re so used to over the years seeing you erg numbers but great to see what is happening on a very still piece of water, little stream and breeze (a far cry from some of the recent coastal conditions 😆). Again - hope the results go well at the MET and the HRR opportunity arises again (should be an interesting regatta this year at Henley with Mr Ziedler focused on Paris) 😎

[@CameronBuchan]

Yeah the water splits are so variable but still interesting to show! Not really sure why I haven’t before! Fingers crossed for met! I have heard that Oli is doing Henley this year!

[@Nomads_Rowing]

He’s going to be on full Yam after loosing to the Flying Dutchman last weekend 🙄

[@skude3]

Have you used an inpeller before? Interested in hearing your thoughts on that

[@Nomads_Rowing]

@@skude3 impeller now a bit old school as moderate stroke coach or even a Garmin Fenix watch will show you all the data you need on and off the water post training

[@garyquin8452]

Great win today at Met - congrats Cam 👏

[@markunderwood6482]

I second that! Can't wait for the video.

[@bumpercoach]

love watching and feeling being there ... Godspeed happy travels and rowing!!

[@jeremymartin1610]

Nice smooth 1k piece. Hope the race goes well.

[@nicklasdackheden8066]

Loving the new shades, they are soo fast :) go get them tomorrow!

[@CameronBuchan]

👀 hopefully be working with them soon!!

[@micahmalloy]

Go get ‘em, Cam!

[@rowyeah456]

good luck at Met Cam!

[@SophieMcDowell-uu5he]

Ur literally like lighting ur so fast 😮

[@SophieMcDowell-uu5he]

Good luck

[@catherinebrennan3342]

Good luck!

[@CarterFoster-un9br]

I think I would have a panick attack pushing off from there

[@CameronBuchan]

You get used to it!

[@RiseUpRevolution04]

What do call that red thing that counts stroke in boat. Can you provide link snd other infir if that stroke meter

[@CameronBuchan]

It’s an NK speedcoach. If you’re in the UK can get them from Oarsport 💪

[@brianreeves5209]

Where are you rowing there?

[@andyhall7032]

genuine question...not a dig or a comment...but if keeping the blade feathered practically to the catch ( as you do here ) helps with balance ( as it surely does ) then why do I keep getting told to square over my knees ( which just makes the whole exercise harder as my square blades repeatedly clip off the water as I come to the catch and don't seem to aid balance in any way ) ?

[@skude3]

Because it’s a que and you likely don’t have a quick catch/row it in or something else. But tbh you should ask your coach, it’s a good question

[@CameronBuchan]

Squaring over knees seems a bit early but squaring earlier than I do,maybe by the feet, generally means that you’re set up for the catch and increases likelihood of getting it right.

[@andyhall7032]

Both fair answers thanks...I'll ask this tomorrow !!

[@markunderwood6482]

Nice prep piece! An observation; your blade depth on that piece was pretty deep. You may be able to gain a little speed with less oar shaft in the water, less likely for a bad stroke if the conditions are rough, too. Good luck at the regatta, you'll definitely have fun!

[@perrimccluskey9914]

wow u really gave that 1k some beans 💨

[@HenryHowells-fr1sl]

Are you going to Henley

[@CameronBuchan]

Let’s see how Met goes!

[@Havermeyer7908]

@@CameronBuchan god speed

[@brianvanhelvert5684]

wow, i can't believe how narrow that channel is that you row. But i guess u get used to it and where everything is along with course.

[@frankastier7184]

I put the vid on 2x speed for the 1k, and got hypnotized and passed out!

[@jamesoconnor5659]

How much would a speed coach set you back?

[@CameronBuchan]

They’re getting pretty expensive! Around £500 I think now

[@willneupert]

what is that thing you use to monitor your splits called. my quad is thinking of getting one for our cox

[@fbg7934]

Speedcoach GPS Nielsen-Kellerman

[@CameronBuchan]

NK speed coach, if you’re in uk oarsport sell them

[@willneupert]

@@CameronBuchan thanks in the uk so will buy

[@markricketts6957]

A proper speed coach was a bit pricey for me. At my level a garmin watch is plenty accurate enough for splits, distance, total time and stroke rate. It is plus or minus 50m over 25km.

[@willneupert]

@@CameronBuchan should i buy the 200 or the 400

[@legendaryspy7044]

Promise me that you will get 1 place cause I’ve been watching for a long time so you should do it for me ( jabir ibrahimi ) and you also have a wonderful physical power and tall 😊😊

7:02 LOL "inverted commas" instead of "air quotes" ... 5 syllables over 2... is there a reason or just a britishism?
