Concept2 Forum

Hi all.

I have just bought a Concept 2 and am comparing times for various distances on the rankings list.

Is it possible to search in the rakings / logs for a person's name?
I have lost contact with a couple of mates who used to row and I think they may well be somewhere in the rakings.

Thanks.

Google will do that for you. Set up a search like "smith concept2 rankings". (might be a more direct approach. but this works)

Thanks Tsnor.
I had tried a search with Safari and Firefox and now with Google.
I couldn't even find myself - strange, given it works for you.

No but you can refine your search by selecting the country and obviously your age group.

Still pretty hard for the USA, there are a lot of rowers.

Kind of strange that the search for a training partner is just their e-mail or ranking ID number, you would think that a search by just the name would be the most helpful.

My name came up with just using Google, but I have an open profile and very few people do.

Have you ranked any work? If not then google won't find you in the rankings.

Try the reverse flow, look at the rankings, pick a name and google it. Substitute the name you found for smith and drop the quotes for your google search. "smith concept2 rankings". If your friends have not ranked a piece then they won't be there. But if they have ranked any piece at any time then you can find them... the internet does not forget.

rankings are here: https://log.concept2.com/rankings

you can also google your friend's name, a few likely factors (school name, work, rowing, etc) and see if you can snag their facebook or twitter.

You might try https://www.google.com/advanced_search Advanced search is better for searching within a specific website.

Use this for the rankings:

Thanks for your replies Tsnor, Carl, Big Data, and harrythehamster.
There's some useful information in them.
I have ranked work, but only in the last few days.
This is the response I was hoping for, from harrythehamster - it's exactly what I wanted https://www.rankedworkouts.com/index.php?clsp
Thanks again.
