Is my erg score good for my age?

Post by Hello » April 12th, 2013, 8:40 am

I'm modified (middle school) a girl
I'm the tallest rower at 5'7.8 on my team
I weigh 138 and have sever asthma
2 days ago we had a erg test mine split was 2:13.3 total time it took 8min 53seconds
Was it good or bad ;( I had a asthma attack and a back Injury I didn't go all out because of my asthma and I wanted to pace myself
What do you think? I also kept it at a low spm(strokes per minute) at no more then 25 spm soo what do you think?

Not sure what the first sentence means, and you never gave your age, but a 8:53 is okay for middle school. I'd go at a higher rating, and use an inhaler. Asthma shouldn't affect your 2k performance.
PBs: 2k 6:09.0 (2020), 6k 19:38.9 (2020), 10k 33:55.5 (2019), 60' 17,014m (2018), HM 1:13:27.5 (2019)

Old PBs: LP 1:09.9 (~2010), 100m 16.1 (~2010), 500m 1:26.7 (~2010), 1k 3:07.0 (~2010)

Sadly I have it really bad and when it's cold not even a inhaler can save me

I'll take a guess that you are 13, 14 or 15 years old. If you were able to get under 135 lbs, you'd be a lightweight in the rankings.

Right now the 50th percentile for lightweight women 13-15 is 8:50.6, so you'd be a little below the middle of the pack.
