No time for an OTW row today. The taper plan called for a quiet 40 minutes row. I decided to play a bit with the PM5 and the different tools. Here’s what I did:
Row a 2km Warming Up on RowPro. Export data. Process with my python tool.
Row a 6km Main Row on painsled, export data. Process with my python tool
Row a 2km Cooling Down on ErgData. Export data to Concept2 logbook
It all worked like a charm.
The Warming Up, captured in RowPro
Warming Up (RowPro):
Workout Summary - D:tijdelijk2km_rowpro.csv_o.csv
--|Total|-Total-|--Avg--|Avg-|-Avg-|-Max-|-Avg
--|Dist-|-Time--|-Pace--|SPM-|-HR--|-HR--|-DPS
--|01998|08:35.0|02:09.0|21.9|140.3|156.0|10.6
Main Row (Painsled):
The 6km Main Row, data captured in painsled, plotted from the CSV export
What you see is a screenshot from my Concept2 logbook. I don’t have a parser for the ErgData CSV file in my plotting tool yet. Should not be too difficult. Yesterday, I literally had the SpeedCoach parser written, working and tested in 10 minutes.
Edit
It took me 15 minutes to add a ErgData parser to my tool. Had to calculate the Power in Watts by hand. It’s a pity that they don’t include Drive Length, Drive Speed, Drag Factor, Peak Force and Average Force in the CSV download.
Now, the only problem is that I will have to manually put the ErgData row in SportTracks. I don’t want to write a CSV to TCX converter. This, to me, is the downside of ErgData. Lack of export to SportTracks, Garmin Connect, Strava, and other fitness sites … I understand that Concept2 may want to build out their own logbook. I want my data to be free, however, and I want to see my rows (OTW and OTE) next to my runs and bike rides.
