did you not finish the 2k? or did you do those two pieces independently of each other?

Your 500 is better then mine currently (although I havent done one in a while). You should do a 2k to compare to others around here. I'm 6ft and the same age as you so you can compare if you want.

yea, those were separate pieces. high school races are 1500s so thats what i usually train for. 500 is just the only other time i know. i row on the water about 6 days a week so i dont get much of a chance to do erg pieces. thanks

I am tempted to just say it hardly matters. That is, at 6'6", you have just as bright a rowing future as you desire. It is the one attribute that those of us without, can't get. Just get to work building lean mass onto that frame and in a handful of years, somewhere well above 200 lbs., you can reach for Olympic level times. By the time you finish high school, aim for something like a 6:20 2k, at least. That would put 1500m near something like 4:40 (not now, in a few years!).
