Flyweight 2k
Question
I use to row and was thinking about it again. What is a good 2k time for a flyweight rower that is about 5 foot 2?
Answer
Hi Kelley: First of all, there technically is no flyweight category. In ergometer competition, women rowers are either lightweight (under 135 pounds) or heavyweight.
I'm happy that you are considering a comeback. What I don't know is how long ago did you row (i.e., how old are you?). This is a key piece of info to determine what a target time for you is. If you are in your 20s, you want to row 8:30 or better to be in the upper half. In your 30 or over, 9 minutes or lower is an above-average time.
Hope That Helps/AP
