We Won Marlow Regatta 2024! Champ Single

[@frankyrows]

Congrats Cam ❤, your evolution in the single is incredible 🥰, I know how hard is to transition from sweep to scull, almost a new sport! Amazing to watch you win! ❤

[@rowyeah456]

The work≠speed idea is huge, I struggle with that in the smaller boats as well. Always trying to keep efficiently in your mind is tough when I've got so much weight I can put into every stroke, and it got you the win! Congrats Cam, hell of a racing season so far

[@CameronBuchan]

Indeed! So easy to think more hard work equals more speed!

[@darkblueyank]

Thank you for putting this together. I'm always impressed at how you can narrate your experience during the race day; there are plenty of us who would find it a mentally challenge to be articulate on race day. I have a question about the time trial - did you say that you are not allowed to have the splits (time/500m) on during the TT? Because why wouldn't you if you could? IMHO the Livestream showed you responding to the push from your competitor towards the finish by staying comfortably ahead without an obvious increase in rate or power. The 360 view of the race was great. There is a KZbin post of the HOCR 1x Champ (2018) who had a 360 camera on his single and you could turn the view around 360. It was cool to see his race and course from all viewpoints and very helpful in preparation for racing there.

[@CameronBuchan]

You’re welcome! No, I said I chose not to have splits on the screen as they have been a distraction in the past. It does record hence I was able to show after the race. Yes I wasn’t trying to stay ahead really, just stay clean. I had a very big gap at the k so I was comfortable having that gap get smaller. Yes I could do that aswell. It would have to be a seperate video though as you cannot combine both types of footage in one overall video

[@chrismelton4418]

Amazing how good a single sculler you are now compared to when you first took it on. Great work!!

[@CameronBuchan]

Feels the same to me!

[@chrismelton4418]

@@CameronBuchan yeah you never really notice it as much when you are tweaking little things over a long period. Boat just seems to move a bit faster haha!

[@markunderwood6482]

@@CameronBuchan Does the Wintech feel more stable than the Empacher or Hudson? I noticed your balance is very good in it.

[@daleq22]

Congratulations Cam! Nice job pulling away in the final sprint! That shows excellent "performance under pressure".

[@CameronBuchan]

Was more focused on the clock in front of me! 😂

[@CryptixV]

Smaller boats are the best idk what the other guys are saying but it truly shows if your shit or not… ergs don’t float after all. Love the angle you have in the boat mind showing your setup?

[@神の人-f2k]

Top work as always Cam! Well done!

[@christopherbrown6513]

Congrats, Cam!! You're on a roll. Good luck at Henley!!

Congratulations Cam, brilliant TT and race yet again 👏Looking in a good place heading into Henley 💪💪. Best of luck at Henley.

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks Tom!!!

[@Rab_the_ex_chef]

A great wee edit of you day away & only thing I missed was how you passed all the others who burned too soon off the start. Really good race plan well executed!

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you! Some people complain about too much race footage 😂

[@markunderwood6482]

Now that's more like it - a little "yam celebration" after the finish. Great job!

[@nathansmith7153]

And now the full movie - congratulations

Way to hold off the charge Cam, excellent fitness displayed there, and congrats on winning the double! Yam Squad celebrates you today 🙌🙌

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you! Glad to be of some help!

Epic time! Technique looking strong!

[@andyjenbo]

Throwing some 'Yam' into that race, mate. Good job.

[@markpayne5451]

Great row- anticlimactic when the title says you won. I'm enjoying your success!

[@CameronBuchan]

😂 can’t win! Some people will say they hate not knowing

[@markpayne5451]

Yeah- 5 second attention span people that don't wanna watch the entire thing. Enjoying your success!

[@venite_makes_things]

I like knowing it in advance, takes the edge off and leaves more mental space to watch the rowing itself. But I can totally get behind why you'd think it's anticlimactic.

[@Peenuttyy]

Saw you there. Congrats on the win. 🎉

[@erizo85]

Well done Cam, congratulations!!! 😎🙌🏆

[@caractacus22]

Congratulations! I only won reading town regatta, a good two levels down. But. The felling of Winning was GREAT!

[@CameronBuchan]

Congratulations!!

[@caractacus22]

I want to come and support you at Henley. I’ll just turn up, so no plans, just WIN!

[@jsyste6273]

Well done. I’ll cheer you on at HRR.

[@travis307]

Well done you trained really hard for it and deserve it

[@simonalexander9308]

Congrats!!

[@joemaloney8911]

Cam, I've been following you for awhile , amazing attitude & oarsman 👏 , speaking as a retired oarsman , who went from been in an eight, to the skull , my biggest flaw was balance, & I can see you struggling with it , obviously been such a big man , your centre of gravity needs to be lowered into the skull , get that sorted out, & i can say with confidence you will be hard to beat . Best of luck in Henley ❤

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you! I wouldnt say balance is what I struggle with but yes definitely wouldn’t hurt to have the centre of gravity lower. Hard to do without an entirely different cockpit design! Seat and feet can only get so low!

[@joemaloney8911]

@CameronBuchan tell me about it , the back of my calf muscles torn to shreds . Obviously, some creative design could do wonders for the sport, maybe a bigger fin , but rather in the stern , have it in the middle , anyway love the contents & very enjoyable watching your journey..

[@GC-pz8oz]

Congratulations!! Is there a particular reason you switched to the comp blade shape this year?

[@CameronBuchan]

Been using them for years

[@David65866]

Really happy - look pretty good to face the big boys at henley - you must be near top of auto-qualifiers? Maybe the coastal rowing has given your sculling technique a little bit of needed "plasticity"??

[@CameronBuchan]

I think there’s another jump up needed for some of the big boys that have entered! Yes, I have pre qualified for the diamonds with the recent results 💪 it definitely hasn’t made my rowing worse! I think there a few different things that I’ve done different recently that have really helped!

[@jamesmay6895]

Wow that was awesome, so great to see you do fantastically well. 👏👏👏👏👏 No idea how you got the camera to swing round like that towards the end, presumably a timer as you seemed preoccupied!

[@CameronBuchan]

Thank you! I cut it out but I stopped and turned the camera around mid race!

[@Nomads_Rowing]

Bloody brilliant Yamming yet again Cam 🏅 Just as well you don’t get to keep all these cups as you wouldn’t have the space! Liked that in the trials you’re going off feeling rather than data crunching the splits - okay, you doubted that it was 100% but great to be proved slightly wrong. Annoyingly you came away from that not completely hanging which you saved for the race! Towards the end you could see those wobbles to strokeside going to the catch plus going deep but you are now definitely in control 😎 Top Job

[@Lunarnova6]

It’s really been interesting to see your race plan shift to this even split style, and with another win under the belt, I’m excited to watch where you go with it! Congrats on the win! And maybe skip the “fly and die” style while you’re messing with the race plan

[@CameronBuchan]

Wouldn’t say I’ve shifted the plan. More experimenting as the new technique, training plan etc means I’m feeling much more efficient which is something I’m not used to! Needing to see where the limits are if I keep pushing! Ideally all the way to the finish line!

[@galangal33]

well done mate
