Colin, don't you realise it's not very friendly to climb above the challenge admin?
At least you've given me a target for my attempt next week.

I'm not sure about that.
Your very light and not too young.
So I think maybe the formula could be to your advantage. It's worth a try

Well, it's better than being in a competition by herself.

Agreed, none of us want to see Abi with no one to compete against. I believe the metric for male to female performance comparison is wider in indoor rowing than most sports, because of its high reliance on raw power and lack of balancing mechanics. I think I saw 15-20% quoted as the performance adjustment - maybe Alan can engineer an extra column on the spreadsheet. (a more scientific method and in keeping with the age adjustment would be to work from male to female like-for-like world records).
But I definitely think you deserve an honourable foot-in-mouth award for the 'not too young' comment, mikkel!

Maybe Alan could engineer a whole new foot in mouth comment spreadsheet for us. I'm sure to do well in that one

I'll take a look into it. I certainly wouldn't want to discourage our ladies from taking part in these challenges.

With regards to a gender adjustment, I read the following thread and it makes me wonder if it is necessary, or if a gender adjustment is already kinda incorporated into the weight adjustment:
