Looks like Digital Rowing has added the race schedule to your browser so now anyone can see the upcoming row schedule.

Once you have a licence you can also access this and add your entry to an upcoming row and see the results of all the online rows.

The RP site has been updated, see here for upcoming race/training schedule as well as results.

If you're like me, and struggle to stick with an exercise regimen for more than a couple month's, you really should consider getting RP. I have found that signing up for the next weeks sessions in advance every Sunday night provides just enough push to get on the erg after a long day when you really don't feel like doing it at all.

Of course, my motivations for you getting RP are purely selfish (that way I get more training partners ), but think about it.. you spent somewhere between $500 and $1200 for that C2 erg, another $100 and you'll end up using it twice as much (that's my estimate, of course, but based on personal experience, I do believe it's accurate ).

See you online!

I really would not try and run with that spec PC. Windows 8 needs 1Gb at least to boot fast and that video spec just will not cut it on live water. Even the onboard graphics on one of my older PC's with 128Mb of video ram gives like only 3 frames per second in 3D running some graphics testing software !

Upgraded my video card a couple of times before getting really decent results (the cards are now in other PC's in the house) and it requires the likes of a HD6670.

Perhaps what would be useful is users posting their system type and spec and how it performs to help others.

I am using a 2 or 3 yr old laptop and the demo I am using seems to work fine but I have nothing to compare it to either.

Never mind. Program had issues, let it go after trial period. Will wait for the fixes.

I don't know the RoPro app/game yet but I do know computers. Windows 8 you want to run minimal 4GB of RAM and preferred dedicated RAM for video but that isnt' necessary unless you are running high graphics games based on what I see of this app it is not. Note while MS (Microsoft) will give minimal specs to run an OS keep in mind that is exactly that, minimal. Any 64-bit OS you want to run at least 4GB but I usually push my customers to go with 8GB.

Also, avoid 32-bit versions of an OS because it can't see past 3GB's of RAM. So if you ever put lets say 4GB's or higher in a computer running lets say Win 7 32-bit it will only see 3.xxx
