I had not done a 2k since i died in le tour in 7:47.5. In my last 5k, I went out in 7:45 and finished in 7:42. So tonight I did a controlled 2k test. I did not go all out but was close enough. Finished in 7:27.6. So right now I am a class E rower looking for a Class C.

I can't row in this since I am doing the marathon the next day, and it doesn't seem to be set up for rowpro, but I am curious how this works?<br><br>How do you do the handoff for the relay? Are you just going to add the two times, or is there some way to stage a live relay race in realtime on erow?

Right then. Sir Pirate and Thomas will be a team for the relay. We will just absorb the penalty.

Marilyn,<br><br>You announced the Christmas relay for Saturday 12 dec, but Dec 12 is Sunday and Dec 11 is Saturday.<br><br>I can't make it on Saturday 11 after 15h GMT, so I highly prefer Sunday 12 or otherwise Saturday early.<br><br>Tom

The RowPro users will have to be the lead off boat only. Only PM2+/e-rwo users will be able to know when to start the second leg of the relay.<br><br>Paul Flack

I am still confused, and now these replies make me more curious. If the race is set up as 4000m, how does the second rower get to the 2000m mark to pick up the race without rowing to get to that point?<br><br>If the race was set up as 2000m, I would think the second person could start as the first person finished, and there would be no autoscaling problem at all (it would be like waiting for a handicap race).<br><br>It looks like fun either way, hopefully rowpro will be out of beta in the next few months.

Ok, I watched last year's replay. It is set up as a 2k. I can't see why this would matter if you are on rowpro. It will give you the finish of the other rowers, even when off screen, within a few secs at most. Their finish time will pop right up; I row in the 3d but I assume this is the same for the 2d view. Also, you would get their approach to the finish by the +/- going to -2000 for your teammate.<br><br>I haven't tested that delay in rowpro showing the finish, and I suppose there is no way to know how long that delay is (I guess if we could run computers side by side we could see how much faster, if at all, erow updated the status of the finish vs. rowpro).

OK - so if I read the rules correctly, both rowers of a team have to be rowing in the same race. In other words, we could not have one person row at 1300GMT and then another member of the team row at a different time, like 1800GMT. Or could we?<br><br>Marilyn - Ideally I'd like to partner with Tomhz, but schedules and time zones make this difficult. Although Supercanoa and the handicap rows are slowly turning me into more of a morning person, I don't do 2k's very well at 6:00am! Is there any way partners could be split across different races and then have their times added up?<br><br>I see we have one race set for 1400GMT and one for 1730GMT. I will definitely sign up for the 1730 race but need a partner. I'm open to suggestions.<br><br>Regards,<br>Mark
