This pace chart is for Watt-minute rates from 8 to 12 per stroke. SPM 18 2.14,5 2.09,3 2.04,8 2.00,9 1.57,5 20 2.09,8 2.04,8 2.00,5 1.56,7 1.53,4 22 2.05,8 2.00,9 1.56,7 1.53,1 1.49,9 24 2.02,2 1.57,5 1.53,4 1.49,9 1.46,7 26 1.58,9 1.54,4 1.50,4 1.47,0 1.43,9 28 1.56,0 1.51,6 1.47,7 1.44,4 1.41,4 30 1.53,4 1.49,0 1.45,3 1.42,0 1.39,1 Thus 30 spm @ 9W'/st gives a pace of 1:49, and at 20 you would pace 2.05 for same work/stroke. It's based on =500/((rating*Watts per stroke)/2,8)^(1/3)/3600/24 The cell format has to be m.ss,0. Maybe rather than spreadsheet jiggerypokery it's easier just to use the Watt readout and multiply rating by your target work per stroke value. I start from 170-180W @ 20 and add or deduct 10W per stroke more or less. The Watt reading is more sensitive that the pace, because of the cube function, so making it a bit easier to control the power level. Watts are real too.

I can't remember what the actual significance of it was. To get their boat correction factors, I guess all that you'd have to do is ask Cas, he's usually pretty helpful. Although I wouldn't go round calling it a 'Rowperfect ergo' in his presence! Mel  </td></tr></table> I was thinking that it might use the 2.8 factor, but didn't actually try it. it would be difficult to make direct comparisons anyhow sinc eth eflywheel has it's own MOI and the cogs have different tooth counts. I would dexpect that the way in which the watt absorbing is calculated is similar since that's straight physics, however the Netwon force scale does not appear to be correct based on a comaprison I read about direct force measurement compared to RP calculated forces. I would always say "Rowing Simulator" when talking with Cas.

Dehydration is particularly a problem when training indoors during winter in artificially heated, super-dry air. Along with drinking during workouts, you might consider misting yourself from time to time. I keep a spray bottle next to the erg for this purpose. The point is that you produce sweat so that its evaporation will help cool you down. A fine mist of cool water added from the outside to accentuate this effect reduces the amount that has to come out of you.

When I try a full marathon, if it's indoors during winter I'll not only have lots of drinks and some food ready, but also I'll have a fan and a mister running. Byron
