ok, just wrote it out of the blue- it is more authentic...but maybe the essential messages are not clear...now the short form without long text:
- you can connect the rower with zwift - you need the rowedbiker app - look at the video from John or the other link
- you can boost your ftp - and thats the difficult part- to boost or not
- 30%boost may work for many cyclists rowing...but this value changes...and racing with others could be unfair...
- when you are also cycling it will corrupt your data in some way
- hey its still a game ! no religion !
- just try it...you have 25km a month for free
- maybe you´ll experience that rowing with zwift will effect your training becoming much more dynamic...ocd...that was great...but it wont work with a zwift group ride.

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift
dont get me wrong...i dont say that i am fast...despite the progress in December, i do say: my Avatar is fast ! what effects speed in zwift ? The most important is your wattage output- which can be augmented up to the factor 1.5 with the rowedbiker app, 2nd weight, 3rd height....

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift
I love the idea of all the connectivity nowadays
but I have the feeling it would fry my brain 
I had enough trouble with getting a decent enough connection to the internet where I live out in the countryside
I've had to resort to satellite.
I bet a set up of big screen & some good tunes would be heaven for my 90+ minute sessions though

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift
Thank you for your Answer, Kevin
it just came to my mind that i explain what you can do with zwift even that they haven´t integrated rowing already. And that it possible make some fun. A middle qualitiy internet connection is necessary to enjoy a zwift workout. As i mentioned: just try it...you have 25km a month for free.
