Tony Norton: I'm new to Concept 2 and your newsletter. I want to measure my progress against the results I see you publish but I struggle to understand what the results mean. I have gathered that most races are 2000 metres and when I see times, I think this is the distance covered. I don't know the weight which qualifies for Lwt and Hwt. Is there anywhere I can look to get information on the classifications for competition or can you let me know what they are?The Indoor Rowing News has been running since 1999 and it's fair to say a) we haven't written a funny joke since the early parts of the 21st century and b) we almost certainly assume too much at times. So, next issue, we'll be running a glossary of all the basic terms we use, so if you're not yet sure how to tell your damper settings from your split times, your anaerobic threshold from your carbo-loading or your MHR from your HRR, this should be for you. While we're on the subject. We're also trying to knock up an article on 'humorous' definitions, you know Ergonaut – one who boldly rows where no-one has rowed before. That sort of thing. However, we can't think of enough terms to make it worthwhile, so we're throwing this open to everyone. As a starter, we're looking for a good word to define the men (it's always men, and they're always built like the Incredible Hulk on steroids) who jump on a machine, thrash around ineffectively at full whack, and then saunter off after two minutes looking pleased with themselves.This seemed a good idea when we started writing the article, though we're not so sure now. Prevent us from looking silly by sending your definitions to editor@therowingcompany.com and we'll send a signed copy of Matthew Pinsent's autobiography to the best one.
