Although there is still some pedantic discussion about how this could be 'messed with' to produce different results...

Yes, me too, mine will be 400 strokes exactlyLiefcat wrote:Guess I´m a purist on this matter
It seems one of the few automated ways to know for certain during the row is to use Ergdata (which in spite of my whimsical previous post, I will be doing).
Happy New Year everyone

Erik, Well done on getting above 5000m and on floating boat I. Given everything you went through in 2018 that's a very nice way to start the new year.
Not sure about the PM5, but the PM3 definitely uses an unweighted average of the ratings of the splits. So vary easy to get an advantage on this one. If you entered splits of 19' and rowed R10 for the last minute, you could row R31 for the first 19' and it would still show R20. Also rounds down on each split (although a drive in progress at the end of a split will count in that and the next split), So with 4' splits, you can row 83 strokes and it would still show R20.MaxMacLaren1 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 5:21 pmPlummy thanks for clarifying. Out of interest I might try an averaged 20 spm v an exact 400 stroke count as I suspect it could make quite a difference. My guess is c100m (9 strokes x 10+m per stroke).
