500: 1:35
1000: 3:21
1500: 5:08
2000: 6:54
10,000: 41:50

Hi 7seat,
We make an interesting comparison. I'm a lot older and little taller and heavier. Our short distance times are close but your 10K time is significantly slower than mine. Hard to predict between different individuals.

Your a bit bigger than me

vs
165 6
And our times are close (6:55 vs 6:54). Your 10k time is also slower than mine (never did one, but did 40min and did ~40100) so for your first one I'd go out at like a 1:58 or so. It also depends on what your pace is for the 6k (mine was 28, but not for the first one).

PB's:
500: 1:39
2k: 6:43.3
6k: 21:44.1

2k: 6:43.3
6k: 21:44.1
A Danish rowing physiologist has suggested the 6k should be 85% of 2k watts.
So if you row 6.56/311 watts, your 6k should be 264watts (1.50/500), resulting in a 22.00 min 6k.
So FrankJ shows excellent endurance--a little quicker on the 2k Frank--and jbell shows considerable power relative to endurance--work on the aerobic capacity lad.
