Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
Pretty sure it's obvious I am new at this, but anyway I'm going to row for 60 minutes starting at Tuesday, 5:30 pacific, which appears to be Wednesday 01:30 UTC.

What's throwing me is that the RowPro session schedule says "server maintenance" 30 minutes after this. Is that a deal breaker? If so I'll row 30 minutes and catch up the other 30 before bed.
Anyhow I'll be out there trying it on my own so if you're Pacific Standard and see this, feel free to contact me or however it works.

Re: Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
I've never set up a row before. But it seems like the server going off-line would crash any rows currently in progress (but I think they have different servers for scheduling and rowing... so I'm not sure how that will work).
You might try sending Pam an email and see what she thinks.

If you get it set up, I'll row with you.

OK, I will check with her. I decided to only book it for 30 minutes... because of the server thing... and because it's a first. I'm hoping you see it in the session list. It's called WestCoast_easy30. And if it's just me out there, no problem. I'll enjoy the digital scenery.

Re: Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
Pam says they do take the server offline for 20-30 mins. It's not a problem to schedule up to that window, it's just we will want to sign off after the 30 minutes and complete any other rowing or cooldown offline. Shutdown is not automatic, they wait till people are off. So, should be fine but I wouldn't schedule up close to it next time. See ya.

Barbara - what was the flag that was on your oars? It looked like the Greek letter Psi... but it was moving so fast, I couldn't be sure.

Hi Zoot - twas this one:
Thanks for the fun, fun row. Must do again. Maybe next Tuesday? Pam is sending me a thing to troubleshoot why I didn't see boats after the start.

Re: Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
Zoot do you have a preference for the next Tuesday row? 30 mins, 45 mins, 1 hour?
Happy to go along with whatever works for your training plan.

Re: Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
Any of those will work for me. But my preference would be the longer rows. Say 1 hour? Did Pam figure out why you couldn't see the other boats?CamiCrew wrote:Zoot do you have a preference for the next Tuesday row? 30 mins, 45 mins, 1 hour?

Re: Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
Good chance of it... she sent me a link to v3.016. I had installed/purchased v2.302. I've launched the new one, but haven't tried rowing online yet. The water in the upgrade is lovely and I'm pleased they didn't add motorboat wakes.
So look for a session called WestCoast_60min.

You can see rippling water? You must have a powerful graphics engine on your computer. I have to downgrade the graphics to "static water" on my 8 year old laptop.

Re: Trying out a West Coast (U.S.) row
My computer is older than your laptop, however it was my son's previous gaming tower. So it is a big noisy tank with a maxed-out graphics card that can't handle the stuff he runs these days. I tried a 30 min online row today & it shows full 3d rowpro just fine. Yay! Saw other boats this time and the cycled views. One rower dropped out so his boat froze up and that was odd, but I guess it happens.
Do you have a target pace in mind (based on cap) for your 60?

I think I'll try a HR cap of 145. I'm guessing this will be 2:14 to 2:18 range... but we'll see!
