Didnt know where to post this so hope I'm OK on this forum.
I am new to rowing. Have only done a couple of 30 minute pieces. Upload via log card and use the online log book. I find my results but they are not "ranked". I have a ranking ID number and as per the online logbook site I do not need a ranking verification code since it was logged via log card utility What do I need to do to qualify to have them ranked? Granted the results suck at this point but I'd like to see my name in lights so I can follow my progression vs other rowers in the online system. I do see results of others which are actually worse than mine are so how do get ranked?

Thanks

J

Look in the "Status" column of your on-line logbook. You should see there links that say "Rank." Click on the result(s) you want to add to the rankings.

How have you rowed the pieces? Have you just hit "Just row" and gone for 30 minutes? If so, you can't rank a piece like that. Set the monitor for 30 minutes by going into the created workouts and then row it and you'll be able to rank it.

Thanks, Paul. Actually I rowed 30 minutes while watching a Xeno CD. I did pick just row. Did NOT pick a selected workout. Will do this later tonight or early AM. Hey maybe Ill break my mark by a couple of meters. Thanks again.

Glad to help, I certainly hope you PR. Normally when you see the time ticking down, it motivates you better!

was it exactly 30:00.0 minutes? If it was, it should have automatically produced a "rank" link in the status column

It is possible to hit exactly 30 minutes (have done it with 2000m) - and the Logbook doesn't mention what workout your doing. But the best way is like you say it, of course!

You have to pull the last stroke at 29:54.0 to get exactly to 30:00.0. The monitor runs for 6 seconds after the last stroke before stopping the clock.

There are two time outs. If the monitor hasn't detected a stroke it will time out after 2 minutes. If it has detected a stroke that time out becomes 4 mins.

With the monitor counting down a distance I usually get around 25m between the last stroke and the monitor deciding that I've stopped rowing (depending to some extent on pace/rate).
