In 2020 I bought a C2 to strengthen my core for swimming. For the first year I used it to warm up before going on my Wahoo Kickr Bike and only ever did 10 minutes of pick drill to learn good technique.
After a year I started to apply force on the drive phase of the stroke, liked it and wanted more.
I started doing WOD and found I was fairly well up on the honour board in my age category. In 2023 'racing' WOD I topped the honor board for the first time in May. I now seem to be top three each week depending on who turns up.
2022 I noticed people rowing with bad technique in all the gyms I visited. And decided to do something about it. April 2024 I qualified as a Certified Concept2 Rowing Instructor and now give lessons in proper technique in my local gym. I can get a complete novice to decent technique in the first hour, then as we know it takes lots of practice to embed that and master it. But at least I get them started. I love it.
