Planning to row a non-stop 100,000m but as the PM4 only shows 5 digits I thought I can then just set single-distance workout at 99,999. But the PM4 doesn't allow that - it seems 50,000 is the max it accepts. Is that intended or am I doing s/h wrong here? Any work around?

One option is to use the "Interval: Variable" option at the bottom of the New Workout menu, with 1 variable interval of 100000m and a 0 minute reset. Did it quickly on my PM3 just now and it started counting down OK from 100000 with a 26+ hour projected time!

Would be a good idea to plug the monitor into a USB power supply, or remember to keep it from going to sleep during any breaks in the row (pushing the Change Units button is one way).

Cheers
Dave
