Looks like the Crash-B schedule has been posted: http://www.crash-b.org/regatta/event-schedule/.
And bg's race is at 10:25 AM (Eastern US time).
I don't seem to be able to see erg assignments. It seems the registration process was contracted out to someone else this year (herenow.com), and they do things a little differently.
So, bg, if you already know it, can you post your erg assignment, so we can try to look for you (or your erg number) on the live feed as they pan through the competitors.
And the live feed should be accessible at http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/r ... d-irc/live starting tomorrow (Sunday) at 8:30 AM (Eastern US time).
And there is usually some kind of twitter feed where you can shout your words of encouragement, that every so often is repeated by the person with the microphone.
GOOOOOOOOO bg !!!!!

Addendum: it is possible we may eventually see erg assignments posted here: http://www.crash-b.org/regatta/entries/.
So far, this page still has last year's information. Things seem to be working a little differently this year (probably due to the change to the group handling the registration), so it is hard to tell if this information will be updated

I think Shaun's still in New Year's celebration mode....could be the lunar conga line...be strong Norma!

Shaun's been a little wiped out from the latest chemo cycle, but he didn't want to miss out on the Valentine's fun so we're on the honor board, too.
