So finally got to test-drive the Concept2 rower + F6 functionality we've all been whining about for years! Awesome seeing power come across.
Couple of weird details though:
- Stroke rate is just missing entirely from a saved 10k row this morning. Won't show in GCM, won't show in GC web, not sure if it's in the FIT file itself.
- Power seems to be really bringing out the workarounds in the Connect ecosystem - brings up my cycling power curve (which kind of makes sense but kind of doesn't?) in GC web.
- The C2's total distance is brought over, but I don't get auto-split functionality that's in ErgIQ as an example. So I have 10000 meters, correctly. But I don't have the 20x500m splits I'd expect from the way I programmed the row on the C2 side.
All in all, a really pleasant experience "just working" this morning, so lots of thanks to the Garmin sweng team on this one - will be really interesting to see how it behaves in a multisport setup, since now I'd be able to capture rowing power from evil brick mornings!
Now onto the next complaint - where's our third VO2max number to complain about!? : )
