Wondering about my 2k rowing machine time?

Question

i rowed a 8:25 for a 2k with an urg. and the level thing was at 9 (1-10). what does that mean? it was my first time on an urg and i didnt know what to do with the level thing so i just moved it up to nine. does that make it harder? and if so does anyone know how much slower it made my time? im a newbie at rowing and i was jw. thanks!

Answer 1

well 8:25 is not that bad for a first time 2k. im not an expert on the drag yet but i do believe it makes it harder to row and your time should slightly decrease. the level i row at is about 3 1/2 - 4 i think thats the normal drag level on the water.
