What Is A 'good' Time?

[[old] ja34]

Just wondering what is a good 2k and HM time for a LWT who is 6'2"ish and 21. At the moment it is 6:40 and this was done as part of a sports study and was rowed blind ie the monitor folded back and so couldn't pace myself and my HM time is 82 mins.<br /><br />Jim

Particularly, since your post seems to suggest that you did this time under less than optimum conditions.

You could do the generalised "hwt PB + 20sec" theory, which would give you around a 6:20 2k, which isn't really that bad. Under 6:30 as a lwt is very good, and <6:20 world class.<br /><br />Xav<br />(whose 6:30.7 is okay-ish )

Fair enough. How about 6:15ish then? <br /><br />Xav

Anything under 6:02.6 would be quite good...
