<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>This is a solution for the self-tracking rowers.</p>
<p>Some of us use Concept2 rowing machines. Some of us are On-The-Water
rowers. All of us will use smartphone apps, smart watches, fitness (GPS)
watches, etc. to track our activities.</p>
<p>Most of them will cross-train. Bike. Run. Skate.</p>
<p>That means, the Concept2 logbook is not a sufficient training logbook for us.</p>
<p>At the same time, the Concept2 logbook is used in rankings, for challenges,
and more. Many of us will want to log all our rowing on the Concept2 logbook.</p>
<p>So there are a couple of challenges here:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>How do I get my erg rows on Strava/SportTracks/Garmin Connect?</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Use an ANT+ device, like explained here: <a href="https://dr3do.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/hurray/" rel="nofollow">https://dr3do.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/hurray/</a></li>
<li>Import from RowPro to SportTracks</li>
<li>There are many smartphone apps to capture data from the PM3/4/5 erg monitor. Not many of them export in a format that is suitable for upload to the above-mentioned sites.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><p>How do I get all my rows (including OTW) into the Concept2 logbook</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>For On-Water and Erg: Add them manually</li>
<li>For erg: Upload from ErgData, RowPro, Concept2 utility</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This project aims at giving you ways to:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Upload fitness data captured in TCX format to the Concept2 logbook (implemented)</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>This should cover all your On-Water activities, whether they are captured with a SpeedCoach, a GPS fitness watch, your phone, or any other device. As long as you are able to export a valid TCX file.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><p>Get erg data captured with apps that have no <q>upload to Concept2</q> functionality and upload them to the Concept2 logbook (implemented)</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>For example: painsled</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<li><p>Create useful plots. Who wants to be limited to what the on-line logbooks plot. Get your data and create:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Color HR band charts or Pie Charts (implemented)</li>
<li>Plot drive length, drive time, and other erg related parameters as a function of time or distance (to be implemented)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

</ul>
