Welcome Ron.

To get added to the Metreboard, you need a Concept2 log (linked above) and just choose Freespirits as your affiliation when you click on the Team Tab.

Looking forward to watching your progress, hope the new start goes well.

Thank you, Iain.

So, I’ve set up my C2 log with Free Spirits as my affiliation and my team. I see my rows listed in Free Spirits on the C2 site, but not in the Meterboard.

Ron, you may well be the first new member of the team since we made some changes to the meterboard. let me have a look and see what is going on. Don't worry, all of your rows for this season will be counted once the tool picks you up.

Welcome aboard.

As I suspected, the code to add new rowers is not working properly. I owe you one for pointing this out. I have sort of found the issue but it looks a bit tricky to fix. I'll let you know when it is working properly. By the way, I have things half working on our development server and can tell you that you immediately jump above me on the Meterboard....so it may take longer than expected to get things fixed :lol: :lol:

Jon

P.S. If you have some time to put in a session today than why not register at http://www.c2ctc.com/ making sure you select Free Spirits as your team and row this month's event which is 4x1000m with 2 minute rests between them. You register using the link towards the top of the page. Quite a few of us compete in this event each month and we keep a table of scores each year to keep track of each other.

Thank you much for working so quickly to fix the issue. I’ll have a look at the challenge you linked too. Unfortunately, I’ve already rowed an 8x500 so won’t be able to handle an additional session today. I trust this goes into multiple days and I didn’t lose a good opportunity to compete.

Also, HA! No worries about the total meters I log, the numbers don’t reflect just how terribly slow I am. I’ve never been one for speed, so I’m not sure how valuable I’ll be in speed related challenges. But I do enjoy the competition, so if you don’t mind a slow rower, then I’m game.

Thanks again.

The 4x1k finishes today, but don't worry there is the theoretically easier 4min row event starting tomorrow. Just follow the same link.
