LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[BAZzy]

I think that your logbook should automatically choose the best one - but we’ll have to see how that works once April 6th arrives. It’s all a mystery at the moment. Hope you feel better!

Possibly it might work on the basis that you need to put a "ranking ID" against the particular workout you are submitting, and in turn it will record that workout as the one that contributes to the challenge (I'm just throwing a guess in based on the way I read it...?)

Cheers, Baz

Yes, that's how I read it...rank those submissions!

Just wondering about the Spring VIII challenge. It says "As an athlete, you need to enter a verified result for each round in your Logbook". Is this something new? I've just entered my numbers on the Log page manually, but this seems to indicate you need to "Verify" your data. I have a PM4 that isn't hooked up to the internet so I'm wondering about all this.

Howard

[Kona2]

I believe you will have to take a photo of result and send it in. We have several people in that situation. Maybe they will let us not send in the verify.

I have sent a request to Concept2 for an easier way to do this. The log cards aren’t always a good way to upload - because the card readers often don’t work. Hundreds of people sending in photos makes no sense. We don’t any of us expect to set world records in this Challenge. We need to make it accessible to all.

I'll join a boat!

Good - because you're in one !

I had to put 8 people in a boat. I can move those people around from boat to boat in case someone can't do a particular series. PLEASE CHECK your teams section, guys AND gals, because you may be in a boat. Or you might want to be in a boat and are not ! I tried to select those who have been erging a lot lately, but it is by no means a reflection on interest or capability. In fact, I am not sure that I can use the indoor rower given the knee situation, but hey....we're not dead yet (thank you Monty Python).

Thanks a lot for putting me into a team boat!
I have "fallen off" the erg rowing boat for some time, and even longer from the forum, but the Mud Challenge,
the World Erg Challenge and now the April challenges got me back!
I will try my best to do each challenge.

Happy rowing!

Before you start the workout make sure the date is correct (top right corner of the PM4). If it isn't right you won't get a valid verification code.

Press the following buttons on the PM4

More Options | ●
Memory | ●
List by Date | ●

Scroll down to find the workout.
Press the magnify button
Press the fourth grey button twice.

Take a photo with your phone there's 16 characters in the top right that are your verification code.

since my gym is closed...paraphrasing a passover saying....instead of next year in isreal...for me it's next year in a luna-tic boat :-] will be cheering you on from the 'ville :-}

Missing you bg! Hope that soon you will be back in your gym and the LUNA-TICS "boat"!
Stay healthy and safe!

Hi Citroen, do you think it would be possible to have a valid result for this challenge with a PM2?

[Citroen]

Hi Citroen, do you think it would be possible to have a valid result for this challenge with a PM2?

Not possible the verification stuff was added to PM3 only (with a firmware update (built-in on PM4/PM5) it wasn't possible to add that to the hard-wired FPLA on a PM2/PM2+

It's $180 to retrofit a PM5 to your ergo.

Whoop, whoop and what a good time to reach a milestone! Congratulations, Greg, on achieving a TWO million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more!!

I've read, re-read, asked questions, been asked questions...about the Spring Series. It's still a mystery.

I couldn't create a boat without populating it...and that's why I just put people in there. Sometimes the hardest part is navigating the team captain page instructions. I could have spent a month trying to get people to sign on for a boat ! Although I did read that while there are no mixed boats, we can add women to the men's boat. I'm not going to look too closely at that statement, but I have flagged it. Snort. Apparently the rowers can be put in and out of the boat before the end of entry bell is rung. I've asked about dropping the verification stage for the Master's boats. I'm not sure how it's going to work, but sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith that it's all going to work out fine. And that, Lunies, is generally my outlook on the world.

What's the age for Masters?

[Kona2]

What's the age for Masters?

WHAT IS MASTERS ROWING
A rower may compete as a masters rower from the beginning of the year during which he or she turns 27. Masters rowers are then placed in categories A to M, 'A' being an average of 27 years or over, and 'M' being an average of 89 years or over. Dependent on the age they turn that year, the masters rower will then compete against others with the same average age in the respective category. The average and minimum age of a crew competing excludes that of the coxswain.

For the Challenge purposes, I just put us all in Open boats - not youth or University level.
