Is a 2k erg time of 1:59 (split time) good for a beginning rower?

Question

I started rowing last summer in a learn to row camp. I didnt do our clubs fall season, but I started in the spring season. The piece was my first piece pretty much ever. I am 6 foot 2 and 165 pounds and im a novice rower if that helps.

Answer 1

yeah, it's ok that is about an 8 minute 2k you really want to be under 7:30... If your a light weight, and under 7 min if your an open weight so i guess if you get it to 1;40 it would be better, should probably do some strength and endurance training, will help you get lower splits

Answer 2

It's an ok time.

College time should be splits under 1:40.

National, even lower.
