If you aren't allocating enough RAM and disk space for your virtual machine, that could be the cause of issues running RowPro. You should compare their system requirements to your virtual machine specs.

Have you tried contacting RowPro's technical support?

What are the specs on your Mac and your virtual machine?

If you're worried about it, you should just pull straight through 0.0 seconds displayed and you even can throw in an extra stroke if you want.

From the answers already given, clearly there is no defined level where a score is "elite" so you'll just have to go with calling yourself a 98th percentile rower for your category and let everyone else figure out if that's elite to them. Personally I think 5% is way too generous for elite level. I'...

Hmmm...looks like you should check eBay if you're set on a card reader.

Did a little more digging and found the following article: http://www.runnersworld.com/drinks-hydration/how-much-should-you-drink-during-a-half-marathon Key paragraph states: Drinking less, however, did result in greater physiological stress. Runners' body temperatures and heart rates were higher wh...

You don't need an external card reader. You can connect a laptop to the PM to get the data off of log cards.

If you have a bunch of fellow rowers though it would be quite inexpensive per person to chip in and just buy a new card reader.

Short answer, yes, you should eat and drink. You don't have to but your performance will suffer if you don't. See: http://therowingcompany.com/assets/docs/training/training_marathon_training_guide.pdf sections 3.3 and 3.4 in particular. It is for marathon training but obviously applies at least in p...

I would wager that fluctuating from 1:55 to 2:05 would give you far worse results than just holding 2:00. From a physics standpoint you will expend the least amount of energy for any given overall time by keeping the exact same average split over the entire duration. From a physiological and psychol...

If you go by Paul's Law (+5 seconds for doubling the distance), your 100 mile split is going to be about 10 seconds slower than your marathon split. That's only a rule of thumb and I'm sure going from 26.2 miles to 100 miles is pushing the limits of how applicable the formula is. Nonetheless, I thin...

I would at least get a log card since they are so cheap. You don't have to get a reader though it makes it more convenient to get the data downloaded. The log card allows you to easily get at your detailed data as well. The ErgData app only transfers the aggregate information, no splits. The best fe...

Of course it can. Think of it this way: How fast of a split do you think you could produce if you pulled 1 stroke per minute? That's an extreme example of course but the point is that stroke rate does play into maximizing your speed. Adjusting your stroke rate to your specific physiology will allow ...
