Concept2 has a calculator that let's you see what your time on the water would be given your actual times from the erg and your weight. Weight to strength ratio is important because a rower needs to be able to push their own weight, or "get their weight out of the boat" as Carrie always says during suspension/drive/catch-placement drills.
here's the link to the calculator

ReplyDeleteMy old coach used to say that no one cared about weight adjustments except for lightweights. But whatever, he was a lightweight.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can apparently row a sub-seven, which I don't think is real accurate.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! One more thing:
ReplyDeleteYour weight-adjusted score will be a pretty good estimate of your potential speed in an eight. If all eight rowers have the same adjusted score, then that eight should be capable of rowing that speed for a 2k race on the water—given perfect conditions and near perfect rowing effectiveness (nobody rows perfectly).
