What are typical erg times for beginning rowers? (crew)?

Question

Anyone who knows about this, what are some decent erg times for say 500m, 2k etc?

Answer 1

well as a beginner the first piece i did was a 3k and i got a 2:50 which isn't that great but for a beginner that is around where you will get (hopefully lower cause thats actually pretty bad)

for a 500:

1) boy: 2:20

2) girl: 2:25

once ur better u should be getting like at the most a 2:10 probably lower--especially if ur a guy then u should be getting 1: something

for 2K:

1) boy: 2:30-40 (really no higher)

2) girl: 2:35-2:50

all these things depend on ur weight, the heavier you are the better a score you should get cause somebody on my team had one of the better scores but for his weight he shouldve been getting a lot alot lower so he didnt make the number one boat, i guess it kind of sucks but thats how the coaches look at things

good luck at making a boat!
