Running lactate result applied to rowing ? New rower.

Hi, I have been rowing for about a month and are trying to figure out my HR zones and lactate HR for rowing. I've done lactate testing for running but can these be applied to rowing ?
For running my threshold HR was calculated to 167 HR at mmol/ 4.0. I believe my lactate for rowing is not very far from running. Is there any test you can do to figure it out? Is "Joe Friel - Determining your LTHR" applied to rowing?

My lacate test running.
mmol/l 1.6 138 HR
mmol/l 2.6 153 HR
mmol/l 3.2 163 HR
mmol/l 4.8 171 HR

I did a row session yesterday and was trying to figure out my HR for different paces.
I noticed that last session pacing between 1:43-1:45 I peaked to early starting to row way to fast with to much lactate building already after 2:30 I had to slow down drastic to 1:52 and barely finished.
And this is also noticed on HR graph. Maybe if I started last session slower and gradually speed up my HR could reach even higher and lactate could be more stabil.

5 min 2:20 18spm r2 MAX HR 128 avg 118
5 min 2:15 20spm r2 MAX HR 133 avg 126
5 min 2:10 22spm r2 MAX HR 143 avg 133
5 min 2:05 24spm r2 MAX HR 149 avg 139
5 min 2:00 26spm r2 MAX HR 157 avg 149
5 min 1:55 28spm r2 MAX HR 165 avg 157
5 min 1:50 30spm r2 MAX HR 172 avg 165
5 min 1:45 32spm r2 MAX HR 177 avg 170

These are maximum HR that I have been able to register, to get high HR I seem to build the session up slowly. Short intervals does not give me high HR.
Rowing maximum 181
Cycling maximum 179
Running maximum 183

3min steps with 30W increase for men and 40W for women. Rest 30 sec.

Thanks for input! I will give it a try next session.
