Anybody know if David Hart is de-worming the UK site?<br /><br />It appears to have been taken off line; I'm hoping it's not because it's been hacked but that it's to keep it from being hacked....

I could give it a try, but 1) I'm not entirely sure I understand it all myself; and 2) Paul is lurking and no doubt can do it more simply and accurately.<br /><br />The general point is that ErgMonitor (unsolicited plug; I have received no compensation) strikes me as a great way to work on carrying ...

Paul, am I right in thinking that looking at ErgMonitor's handle force curve equalized for amplitude against the TorqueJoule curve should show whether stroking efficiency is being carried over as the rating goes up?<br /><br />Here's me chugging along [Edit: strapless, though I normally use the stra...

No, the graph does an excellent job of showing<br /><br />1) that your oft-repeated claims about Luini's preferred race ratings are at best hyperbolic -- in Boston he raced at an overall average of maybe 36 spm, which is 5.5 spm below the 41.5 you say he did for his record. <br /><br />2) that to ob...

Mark, Nik Fleming has gone 9:32, IIRC at around the same time that he went 15:40 for 5k.<br /><br />That's the fastest time I know of, although that may be because people like Hodge and Pinsent (and Benton) either haven't done the test or haven't reported it if they have....<br /><br /><br /><br />

Bob, if I had to go to war on an erg I'd want Veronika Platzer or Dennis Hastings or Libby Peters or Gail Lahm from my boat club behind it. <br /><br />My personal experience is that a cox that you trust, and who knows both you and your race plan, is a HUGE asset. <br /><br />I'd be honoured to cox ...

Hey Gary, decided I needed to earn my donuts this morning and just did a 45.6 300 r53.<br /><br />Not bad for a half-century-old sack of flour....<br /><br />

By way of update, here's how the 2005-06 US IRT fared at this year's WIRC (Crash-Bs). Twelve of us rowed, with Veronika Platzer the only member not competing in Boston.<br /><br />Results, ordered by age:<br /><br /><br />Open Men: 14. Shor, Roman. Big Guys RC. 5:59.90 (5th College; time would have ...

Hmm. I drank the last of the Tuscan red the other day; all I have is about 1/2 a bottle of an Australian cabernet-merlot blend. I'm not sure that quite qualifies, although it's not the paint thinner one might expect.<br /><br />The sausages (six) and peppers are cooking as I type....
