• Not quite a lightweight, but close (165lb to175lb men, 135lb to 145lb women)
• Former lightweight (rowed as lightweight in the past, but not getting near a scale now)
• Never been a lightweight, but this seems like a fun event  (aka heavyweight)

For live racing, we will be using the free Concept2 ErgRace app.  To participate in live racing, you will need a Concept2 with a PM5.  If you would like to race on other equipment, you can enter an asynchronous category.  Even if you are asynchronous, you are welcome to join us on Zoom on race day to do your race piece together with the live racers.  The window to complete asynchronous events is March 4 - 12, 2023.

If you are racing at an altitude of 5,000 feet or higher, we will use the handicaps Concept2 used when they paid for qualifiers to fly to the championships.  Depending on age, gender, and weight class, the handicaps are generally 8 to 10 seconds.  Reference: https://web.archive.org/web/20180705030221/http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/racing/wric/qualifying-times
