Kids #3&4 of mine are less than 14 months apart. Twins would have been easier.

bigb,
I've fallen out of shape a little because of my hammies but without much of a warmup today, I rowed 563 meters in two minutes. It didn't feel crazy hard so I recovered for about 6-7 minutes (light rowing, stretching) and then rowed another two minutes almost all out for 602 meters. I came through one minute around 292 meters (so the last minute was 310 meters) and had the intention of doing 3 minutes crazy hard but at the one minute mark, picked it up a bit and quit after two as I had almost nothing left in me. I think with a little more training, I could get up to 630 meters in two minutes.

That's good. It's crazy how quickly rowing will drain you.
During the second half of my workout today we had some rowing mixed with weights. I didn't pay attention to the 300 meter time, but I did 350 in 59 seconds flat and 400 in 1:11 and change. Keep in mind this was at the end of the workout, after running hills for the first half.
The other day we did a three minute row right on the middle of the workout. I hit 900 meters just as time was called.
I know we discussed the type of rowers we use. Here are a couple pics of the ones at OrangeTheory:

I've seen those before. I forget where but they look good. I'm curious what serious indoor rowers use nowadays. Those, Concept2 (mine) or something else. Also, those time for the 350, 400 and three minutes above are freakin' legit as hell. It motivates me. I ran a few miles today and plan on doing cardio again tomorrow (swim I think) so I am hoping to see some jumps in my times the next few weeks.

Must spread rep around before giving more again. My goal for you in the next few months is 700 meters in two minutes. I think it's virtually impossible (for me or you anyway) but the gauntlet's been thrown. I want to see with a few more months of training if you could hit that.

See world records below for different distances, age groups, etc.

Not sure if this means Concept2 is the one predominantly used in serious comps or not and more accurate. I may see if I can find a gym with some of those water ones. I'm really curious now.

Concept 2 is still the most used in most types of competition and the gold standard for rowing. The water rowers are becoming popular and are really nice. I know almost all crossfit people use the concept 2 machines and they are used for their crossfit games.

These WR's aren't remotely accurate fwiw.
