I assumed that much. The most I've rowed in one sitting was 2000m. Just barely over 7 minutes.

You sure? That's flying. Like almost good enough to compete in fairly major competitions.

Let's assume it was 7:10. That's 1:47.5 per 500M. That's fast. Very. You're a very strong guy which helps but you don't strike me as the type to have the cardio to sustain that pace for so long.
 
Now I'm curious if I've ever tried to PR for a 2,000. I think I have and oddly enough, I think my goal going in was 7 minutes...I will have to check my logs. About 99% I didn't hit that.
 
I still remember my sprint record for one minute was 31 calories expended. Had that ****er cranked up to 10 on resistance and had decent upper body then.

I'm positive. Rowing is part of the workout at my gym. It was PR week. I did 500 meters in1:42. A couple days later I did the 2000 meters is 7:02. My goal was under 7 minutes, and I was pissed I didn't make it. I do 100 meters in under 15 seconds on the reg.

I don't know what brand the rowers are, but they don't have a resistance adjustment. They have a paddle thing that spins in actual water.
 
Within the last four weeks I've lost my dad and one of my all-time best friends, and I've also fallen in love with an amazing woman. It's been quite a month.
 
I rowed 17 miles on the Colorado River Friday and Saturday. And the week before that I rowed 25. Camped in the wilderness on the river a few nights. It's a great time.
