Clearly I am still a good way off Mr 'I do 8071m pace for a 10k' Braithwaite when it comes to the erg scores. However, I came across an interesting calculator on the Concept 2 website, which adjusts the speed for your body weight and the resulting drag you create. I did a few calculations:
Tancock 5k PB @ 25 (fixed, of course): 18:20.6. Mass - 68kg. Adjusted time: 16:05.8.
Braithwaite 5k PB @ 25: 17:29?(That's what you did for the trial last term isn't it?) Mass - ? Say 90kg if you are anything like the weight of the blue boat rowers. Adjusted time: 16:19.7.
Feel free to correct me, but at the moment I'm claiming a higher power-to-weight ratio! Now I've just got to learn to row and make the boat move as fast!

Luckily my all time (free rate) pb comes out at 15:44, so you still have a challenge ahead.
Anyway, surely the best way to settle this would be mano a mano in the KCBC internal sculling competition later in the year?
Good work though Matt.
