Just wanted to hear opinions on everyones pitch when paddling the one man. Do you stick to faster pitch or a slower pitch with using more glide? I'm sure it is changed depending on the distance of the course. Also wat about on the start. How far do you guys go 100% on the start?

Are you asking about stroke rate or how far forward to enter the paddle or at what angle????

I tend to go with a high girlie type shrill at the start of a race and then mellow out to a deep bellow mid race and by the end my voice sounds more like a sloppy fart.
Hope I have been of some assistance.
If you come over and paddle the Murray Marathon look for some glide between strokes to converve energy!
