Answer
Hi Henry: I don't know how old you are, which factors in to determining your relative ability on the 2K. I will assume you are between 15 to 19. Your time is below the average for lightweights in that age group. The mean time is 7:18.4 and the median time (the 50th percentile) is 7:13.7.
You are not that far away. Looking at your height and weight, I'd say you must be quite lean. You definitely want to consider gaining 15-30 pounds of muscle through increasing your protein and calorie intake and integrating a muscle-building weight training routine in between your rowing workouts. The added weight will definitely drop time off your 2K score.
Good Luck/AP
