Erg time
Question
I am a 17 yr old female. I'm 5' 11 1/2" tall and weigh 127 lbs. I have run xc and
track for years. I'm very interested in crew though. I have never rowed, but I did
a 2k erg test which was 7:39. Is this good for my size and weight?
Answer
Hi Rachel: That's an outstanding time for a lightweight. You are only 20 seconds off of the best time for lightweight women your age. Considering you have no rowing experience, some time with a good coach can drop even more seconds off your time. Even adding in heavyweights, your time is just outside the Top-10%
I seriously think with your height, X-Country beckground, and erg score, you have the potential to be an elite college rower at any weight category.
