I discovered rowing in middle age so was interested in the piece, “Erg Don’t Lie” (Under the Elms, May/June ’19). When speed records that have stood for more than two decades are broken, how can BAM run a story without reporting the old and the new times? For those of us who erg and row, the first question we’re going to ask is what was Porter Collins’s time in 1997, and what is Alex Miklasevich’s new time-to-beat.

Editor’s Note: Our bad! Collins’s 5000M record was 15:32. Miklasevich beat it with 15:25.
