Is this a good 2k erg time for a beginner?

Question

I've just started working on the erg (about 3 weeks in), and I did my first 2k run today. I'm 14, 6 foot 2 and 150 pounds. Is my time of 2:09 for 500m good for a beginner like me?

Answer 1

bro that aint good at all but the more time you spend on it the better

 

Answer 2

for being 6'2 and 150 pounds that is not great. you are tall and you have a lot of muscle... use it to your benefit. work on technique and doing fast pace sprints like take 10 stroke pieces at like a 142, but only if you have the technique down.

Answer 3

I had my 2k test (and i started about a month ago).. I'm a 14 yr old girl about 125 lbs and 5'10. my split was about a 2:11 average... I'm pretty good at sprints but during the middle thousand meters i lose almost all my technique and shut down.. tips?
