Each of your four drinkers downs a mug of root beer, flips the empty tankard onto their head, and the next one starts. Your rowing fills the drinking meter. The race starts on your first stroke. After a race, rest for about 8 seconds, then take a stroke to race again. Esc or ⚙ pauses a race and opens this panel; H shows your race history; T opens the trophy case; M or ♪ turns the sound on and off. The top bar shows your live pace, stroke rate and watts, and the screen stays awake while a rower is connected or a race is on. Works with a WaterRower (ComModule, Bluetooth) or a Concept2 PM5 (Bluetooth, beta). No rower handy? Pick Mock rower to replay a real Concept2 workout, or press space (or tap) for practice strokes; they're ignored while a rower is connected, and practice races don't count as bests or earn trophies.

Race history

Your times for this race length, oldest to newest. Higher is faster; the dashed line is your best.

Trophy case

Tap a trophy for details. Speed and distance trophies come from beating the computer crews in distance races; regularity counts against any opponent. Practice races never earn trophies. Gold in all three categories wins the Golden Mug. Trophies are kept in this browser, like your bests.
