612endurance

612endurance is a twin cities area based endurance racing team. We doggedly work on a wide variety of drills to perfect our balance and improve our rhythm.

612 Endurance believes in creating a training environment that fully supports the pursuit of mastering the sculling stroke (and the rowing stroke). We appreciate the complexity of that pursuit by breaking it down to the essentials of catching the boat without disturbing its run, hanging smoothly through our shoulders during the leg drive, and dynamically harnessing our hip, back, and arm power to

complete the drive. We believe in creating a competitive culture at practice that encourages all participants to share in providing positive and honest feedback to one another. In these regards our practices can best be described as a Non-Zero Sum Game. In a Non-Zero Sum Game all participants could achieve a gain or all participants could experience a loss. We attempt to achieve this standard by creating handicapped margins, demonstrating best possible technique as we teach and perform drills, rowing in team boats with one another, and monitoring and adjusting our approach as needed. Achieving our standards works when every participant communicates in a tone that demonstrates a sincere interest that the recipient will benefit from our observations. Our confidence in one another derives from the feeling of respect we share. Passive aggressiveness destroys that respect and we will not tolerate its use. We are excited about testing our skills in competition. We support one another in that pursuit by creating a competitive environment at practice that exceeds the difficulty of our races. We push one another at practice in creative and surprising ways to enhance our adaptability. In that realm we occasionally fail. In those moments, we gather our composure, complete our work to the best of our abilities, and we leave it all on the water. We do not cling to anger or resentment. We recognize that those emotions arise in the pursuit of extraordinary challenges and we embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow. We believe in mastering the sculling stroke in the single as preparation for success in both the single and team boat rowing. We select team boats based on single speed, athlete synergy, and proficiency of sculling technique.

Hi all- I'm currently coaching a recent college grad looking to get a 1x. If you're interested in selling or renting a quality mens lwt (70-75kg) 1x private message me. This guy is a stud rower so if renting it will be well rowed and cared for. Thanks.
