Competition times as verified workouts

[ArmandoChavezUNC]

I raced today at Atlanta Erg Sprints and am wondering how to go about having my 2k time show as "race" or "verified" in the logbook/rankings. The only option I see asks for a 16 digit verification code, which I did not get. How do people get their times to say "race"?

Your going to need that verification code.

Last time I tried to use one however I kept getting an error. Fortunately everything rowed online using RowPro is verified. The problem I had for a while there, RowPro was storing my rows as having used slides.

Still don't know how to get it to show up as "Race" however. Would have thought this could perhaps have been done at the race venue ?

I have had that problem a number of times, including at the C-Bs. Usually it can be resolved by communicating with regatta director or by e-mailing C2. Not always.

Won't the race organizers enter/submit the times? I'd think that would have it would be entered as "race."

That often takes a while and I think that it can only be done by Dena at C2, on the basis of information from the regatta directors.

It is up the race organisers to tell C2 Armando then they will add the Race verification. We have had problems here from time to time too with poor organiser recording.
Once "properly" notified it seems to happen very quickly (days).

How did you go BTW?

I used to mail Dena, she made the row a race. Now I don,t bother, I rnk my races as ind.

[ArmandoChavezUNC]

Thanks all for the responses. Ultimately it's not a huge deal, as I did not row a World Record or something important like that. Still, it would be nice to have my ranking be a bit more official. I'll wait for the official race results to come out and contact C2 about getting it verified.

Went well, did a PR of 6:23.2

I asked C2 last year and they said that the organizers of the race have to submit the times to get "RACE" classification. It seems to happen with CRASH B's but not the other races I enter. Nice job in Atlanta! - Chris

Bringing this back up since a lot of us just raced Crash-B's.

I once again neglected to write down the (very long) verification code from my erg - I had other more pressing issues in mind after my race, such as the intense pain in my legs and the urge to visit the nearest trash can.

Anyway - anyone know if there is a way to get this 2k verified without having the code? Maybe a point of contact with Crash-B's that I can reach out to? I'd like to at some point have at least one verified 2k in my log.

Thanks

In past years CRASH-B's have been submitted to C2 as race results, there were a lot of competitors, give it some time

You also might want to consider taking a LogCard or a USB stick to race events ?

Can't use them in the race machines - only in the ones available for practice and warmup. Another bummer is the lack of cool down opportunity other than walking around in the crowd. At the smaller events, at least Long Beach and San Diego, it is easy enough to go for a light jog to cool down. The racing ergs have to be vacated quickly to make room for the next heat and the practice ergs are in heavy use until the last few heats.

Kind of stupid isn't it ?

The monitor still has the internal memory so you could still find your result and get a code.

Best to take a note pad with you and write it down before you leave the Erg.

Armando mentioned that. Quote:"I once again neglected to write down the (very long) verification code from my erg - I had other more pressing issues in mind after my race, such as the intense pain in my legs and the urge to visit the nearest trash can."

Even under less stressful circumstances, it isn't all that easy. When I was doing my time trials early last year, I had to go to a Crossfit, since trials on my dynamic don't qualify. I did bring my logcard, but I was also writing down the VC. My protocol was well-planned, but not always as well executed. Somehow I managed to get the right data properly entered in the online log, but there was always a concern that I would slip up. I know that it sounds simple and you probably wonder why there should be a problem. It was just that I was working in an unfamiliar venue, It was often very noisy when members started showing up, I had a number of things to do in that protocol, like setting up the machine (usually stood up against a wall in a line with the other machine, change clothes, check the time and date on the machine (different machine each time), slip in the logcard, check and set the drag factor, set the monitor for each segment (WU/TT/CD), strap in (forgot that a couple of times - even forgot to take off my shoes once for the warm up), do the segment, and repeat until all three are done. Sometimes needed a short deep breathing session after the TT segment. After the cool down (on those days when I had a chance to do one), I had to make sure I remembered to put all the data in my notebook. That was another part of it - making sure that I had that with me, along with an operating ball point pen or two. Finally take out the logcard, get off the erg, put shoes on, make sure the important items like notebook and logcard were tucked away safely, put the erg away, change clothes, make sure that I have everything with me, and leave. In the atmosphere of the Agannis Arena, the whole business is far more difficult, especially since there is a certain amount of pressure to get off the erg so that the next group can take over. Another item is that, with the machine hooked up with all the others, you aren't allowed to do anything to the monitor, like check the time and date. The machines used include the ones that were set up in a hotel room for a few days for practice machines. I found out the hard way that you can't count on the date and time being correct. I know - I should have checked it regardless, but I slipped up and found out later the it was set for one year ahead and VC was invalid. With 160 machines on the venue floor, set up by volunteers, there is some chance that there will be a machine here or there with the wrong time and date. It doesn't effect the race results, but it would mean faulty data on the VC.
