The Indoor Rowing News has always been an inquisitive cove. As a child we loved comparing things. Who'd win a fight between The Incredible Hulk and The Mighty Thor? What was faster, a Lamborghini Countach or a Ferrari Testarossa? Who could paint better out of Tony Hart and Rolf Harris? Although this was eventually to get us banned from every public baths in three counties, we've never lost the desire to know how people stack up. Which is why the Concept 2 British Ranking is such a big deal for us. Featuring all the best times from individuals up and down the country over nine individual and four team events, the Ranking provides a snapshot of the state of rowing in the country. The entry deadline is April 30th and there are a number of different ways to make sure your time is included. Firstly, if you're on the On-Line Ranking and Logbook (http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/) and your nationality is down as British or Irish, your best times from there will be automatically entered. Secondly, you can use an official Ranking Entry Form, available from either http://www.therowingcompany.com/ranking/ or by contacting Concept 2 on 0115 945 5522 or [email protected]. Alternatively, all competition times are entered automatically.For more on the Ranking, including archived results from the past couple of years go to: http://www.therowingcompany.com/ranking/
