Summer rowing season is winding down and it’s time to start preparation for the fall head racing season. Head racing is a class all on its own, with a widely different set of skills, physiological adaptations and course-specific race strategies. A boat that’s fast on one course doesn’t necessarily mean it will finish swiftly on another. In addition to alterations in your training regimen, aerobic capacity and weather preparedness for the longer fall races, specialized equipment can help up the ante on your competitive game.
