As far as I can tell, all the PM4 does (and I imagine the PM3 is the same) is to take your HR at the end of each interval and take a straight average of the end interval rates, rounded down to the next unit. I don't think it holds your maximum HR during the interval. It's not exact, but should give ...

Some ergers also like to climb
And some do it all of the time

Janet S often rows while she knits,
to make herself something that fits
She knits and she purls

Jessica Red is known to erg in undies
Which she forgets to wear on Mondays.
Now we are all really shocked
Our whole world has been rocked

To get faster and better, I pray
For a little improvement each day
I watch my heart like a hawk
Believe in action, not talk

To get faster and better, I pray
For a little improvement each day

The wind was blowing all day
Which is why I decided to stay

My favourite tipple is wine
and single malts after rowing are fine
But to really get high

That's brilliant, J-R. I find having mine at home makes everything so much easier.

But what are the gym going to do without their member of the year?

For a change, I went down to the gym...
('coz now I have got pretty slim)
So I went to show off
but instead caught a cough
Now everyone thinks I'm quite dim

We now have one boat less floated than the Banana Boat and we need extra participants! So let's all get our family members to have a go. My 16 year old son Jonathan had an attempt at this month's challenge and did a time of 2:49.3. We now have two people in boat XIII. C'mon folks, there's beer at st...

Free Spirits are known to believe.
"May I always desire more than I can achieve"
We certainly are nuts.....
and often fall into ruts
At least, so our partners perceive

Completed my 3MM this week.

As far as I know, even Concept II UK give you something for that.

When are we going to get the US awards system introduced?

Gooner what happened to that last metre - 21096 doesn't count in my book you know!! Yes Neil, I noticed that too. Some kind of reverse snobbery? [Anyone can do a HM, but it takes real restraint to stop 1m short] As the C2 target was 21K, not HM, you qualify for the summer solstice anyway, but what ...

Well, my half day didn't quite materialise as planned. :x Finally left the office around four and got involved in "dad the taxi" duty as soon as I got home. Managed to get on the erg around 6:30 and decided to do the HM without a warm up beforehand. I managed to stay under 2:00 pace for th...

Hoping to take a half day tomorrow so I can get my HM in early.

A hunky young rower from Derry
Was met as he got off the ferry
By a couple of blondes
Waving their fronds
And from there on, it all got quite hairy!

On the morning of midsummer day...

nee naw..

I don't think you're allowed to just repeat the last word of the third line twice in the fourth line

How about:

While climbing, I just wasn't able,
to sit and pull on my cable
It really was piton
and shoutin' and bitin'

Good to have you back Max.

I shall keep my eye on my rear view mirror over the next few weeks and expect you to go whizzing by before the summer ends.

Handling down seems to be a common problem. I gave up just over half way through a HM attempt.

Mind you, attempting a HM at three in the afternoon in the Algarve in June was probably not my greatest plan ever!

I´m going to stick to a few gentle paddles until I get back home.

There once was a man with an urge
to sit on an erg and surge
But the urge went away

The drag factor was getting me down...
and I was really starting to frown
So I blocked all the holes
And set several new goals

I'm off to Portugal today and decided to have my first ever attempt at doing 30R20. I thought I had paced it absolutely right and had about ten strokes to spare at the end. I obviously miscounted as my average came out at 21 SPM :evil: (Splits 20/20/21/21/23). The place I'm going to had a Model C th...
