An update to ErgMate is available at: http://powertwenty.com/ergmate/update.html.

This fixes problems found with communication to the erg and calling power 10′s and 20′s.

There is no need to download the full version if you’ve installed it once already, the update is much smaller as it does not include the computer voice.

Do download the full version if it is your first time as it contains a high-quality voice.

I am pleased to say that ErgMate 1.0 was released today.

ErgMate is a program used while rowing on the Concept II Indoor Rowing Machine.

It helps you meet your goals by calling out information about the row – such as distance remaining or time to go, just like a real coxswain. It can sequence music for you throughout the piece – start out with a list of songs that are steady and driving, then switch over to something fast for the final 250 meter sprint as your ErgMate calls a final power 20.

Have a look and download a free trial at http://powertwenty.com/ergmate/index.html.

Hope you enjoy it!

This Year’s Hammer Ergatta information was just announced:

It will be at the John Carroll University Recplex on Sunday, February 22.

This indoor regatta benefits a local collegiate rowing club, so if you are in the Cleveland area, come on out, have a little fun, and help out a rowing club.

Contact Chris Maeder for more information.
