Erging:

  • Athletes are not permitted to go to another location in order to borrow an erg. They must already have their own erg at home that is available for use. Keep practicing social distancing!
  • The 12' piece must be completed on a Concept 2 standard ergometer (no water rowers, Dynamic ergs, rp3s and so on)
  • Athletes have from 7a-1p (EDT) to complete, and send in their results
  • The monitor must be set to the correct date
  • Athletes will go to the memory screen following their piece, and send a photo of their 12' piece to [email protected] (taking of a photo of the race screen imediately following a piece will not include the date, and will not be considered a valid submission)

 

Running:

  • Athletes have from 7a-1p (EDT) to complete, and send in their results
  • Runners must complete their 12' piece outside (safely)
    • No treadmill submissions will be accepted 
  • Each runner must record their 12' run using a GPS app or GPS watch
  • The app or watch being used must include the date for submission 
  • If you can, please set your GPS recording device to metric (it will save us time from coverting miles into meters)
  • All screenshots or photos of run results should be sent to [email protected]
  • Protip: plan out a flat route that will take roughly 12' to run...no need to torture yourself running hills.
