When Does an 8:10.5 Get You to CRASH-Bs?

When you're a 68 year old lightweight! Luanne Mills qualified at the Ergomania Northwest Indoor Rowing Championships in Seattle last weekend. (Interestingly enough, this Pocock Rowing press release announcing Luanne's qualification from 2005 is headlined by another CRASH-B qualifier, current Wisconsin coach Erik Miller.) She also holds the world record for her age category at 8:00.0. It appears she is an erg specialist.

Since it's erg time, it's always interesting to take a look at published scores. In Seattle, several of the Pocock Elite scullers competed, including some of last year's national team light 4x. The winning time was 7:13.6.
