My Full Race at 2023 Head of the Charles

[@daleq22]

I greatly appreciate your HOCR videos. I'm so impressed you have breath to acknowledge your supporters along the course!

[@ljwaugh1]

Good one Eamon - good steering too. Great to watch.

[@jenniferstanden9624]

Watching and found myself counting strokes! Love the cheers from the sidelines.

[@CaribsurfDon]

Thanks again for another post of your HOCR. More boat traffic this year and conditions not as good as last year, so that was still a great race. Luckily you were early before the heavy winds kicked in.

Next year is gonna need a teeth mount for the funny 360 cam angle right in front of the face

Who meeds breathing

[@simonvanrysewyk9376]

Good effort mate!

[@EamonShorts]

Thanks man! Fun race

[@tadbeck]

Thank you! You rowed a great course, nothing average about your steering.

[@EamonShorts]

Did my best! Things were a bit more hectic on the water for me than last year since everyone started so close together.

[@mikefurlong8025]

@@EamonShorts - Mate, you steered better this year that most of the coxswains (who could actually see where they were going). Really impressive.

[@chris19907]

[@zenphyr6103]

Looking for a POV rowing DVD.

[@EamonShorts]

Not sure those exist anymore

[@VMCT-2023]

@ Thanks 😊. I’m a bit of a dinosaur.

[@stenbergbro]

Looking great. What was your average stroke rate? Have you changed your Hudson Shark for an Empacher? How would you compare both shells? Thanks for your posting - keeps me motivated

[@EamonShorts]

I think it was right around or just under 30spm, surprisingly enough! And I didn't own the Hudson I used last year, it was given to me to train and then race in for the weekend. But I actually do own this Empacher. It made sense to use the Hudson last year because of the support, launch location, and some other travel needs. Both are great, though the Hudson was built for someone else and I've been able to slowly make my Empacher fit me perfectly (widened footplate and raised seat).

could you please let me know what camera and attachment you use to take the video? Thank you

[@EamonShorts]

It's a GoPro Max with a selfie stick strapped to the back of my foot stretchers

[@johnlafrance2692]

How’d you like using the comp blades I haven’t heard good things about them

[@EamonShorts]

Love em. And tons of elite scullers are switching to them and winning so not sure what you’re hearing hahaha
