Thanks for the helpful responses and encouragement. Since I posted, I improved my 2k time from 8:13 to 7:45 and my 30-minute distance from around 6700m to 7260. Not stellar times but a siginficant improvement with room for more, I think. I even found a deal on a clean Model C/PM2 (over 1600 km's, though) for $375, so now I don't have to go to the gym to use it.

Happy ergin'!

First 2k my freshman year was a 8:09. Second was a 7:45 (foot fell out the first time lol). Right now I just started my junior year but set a PR at the end of sophomore year at 6:44 for 2k. My 6k was just shy of being sub-22 mins.

I'm 48yo, lightweight.

First 500m row was about 1:55., two years ago. April of this year it was 1:33.7, looking to get under 1:32 soon. Don't remember my first 2k but I know it was WAY over 8:00, currently 7:38.4. 1k time went from somewhere over 4:00 to 3:35.8. I've put about a half-million meters on my rower in the last two years.
