first 2K!
Question
Hi,
I am a 16 year old girl about five feet 11 and 160 pounds. Last year was my novice year rowing but after winter training I got to move up to varsity! Tomorrow is my first 2K and I was wondering what I should eat for breakfast tomorrow and what a good time would be for me. Also what would be a good time if I wanted to try for a scholarship in college. Thanks.
Answer
Hi Keara: I guess you will have rowed your 2K by now. I'd say if you row an 8:10, that would be average. Anything under 8:00 is really good and 7:45 and below is spectacular.
Getting a rowing scholarship involves many factors and not just erg times. You need to demonstrate success in on-water racing, good grades, good SATs, and yes an erg time well below 8:00.
Good Luck/AP

How far could I go?
