01:00 Winter rowing requires good clothing. How to stay at the right body temperature for your workout.
03:30 Adam Kreek mentioned how the Canadian crews warmed up for the Tokyo Olympics - they adjusted for each person as some warmed up fasters.
05:00 Use a dry bag or store your dry clothing you've taken off inside your deck hatch cover. Keep your kit dry.
08:00 Rebecca's layering strategy - from head to toe. Many overlapping items of clothing so you don't get draughts in the air gaps.
Marlene uses a base layer in merino or silk next to the skin.
18:00 The Faster Masters Rowing Kit store contains some winter kit suitable for colder weather.
19:30 Pogie alternatives include fleece socks with a hole and shooting mittens made of sheepskin.
22:00 The JL Jacket is great.
Taking your clothes off in the boat without tipping in.
- Trap your oar handles at half slide with the handles wedged between your thighs and torso.
- Butt the handles together and lean forward against the handles to hold them firm.
