To most accurately measure your 2k rowing time on a Concept 2 erg just set it so that you are only erging for 2,000 meters. Even if you don't stop right away the erg does. Once the meters stop you not only see the time time you ended with but you also see your average and how long it took you. Hope this helped!

Rowing could be an argument between two people. Or it could be the act of using oars to propel a rowing boat across the surface of water.

A good rowing split can vary based on the rower's experience, fitness level, and the distance being rowed. For competitive athletes, a split time of around 1:30 to 1:50 per 500 meters is often considered strong, while recreational rowers may aim for splits between 2:00 and 2:30 per 500 meters. Ultimately, a good split is relative to individual goals and the context of the rowing workout. Consistent improvement and personal bests are key indicators of progress.

Yes, seat placement in a quad is important and can affect the boat's performance. Typically, the stroke seat (the stern) is reserved for the most skilled and powerful rower because they set the rhythm and pace for the crew. The three seat is also crucial, as this rower must match the stroke's timing while providing power. Ultimately, the best seat for each rower depends on their strengths, rowing style, and ability to work with their teammates.

Famous rowers include Sir Matthew Pinsent, a British Olympic gold medalist known for his success in the coxless four, and Steve Redgrave, another British rower who won five consecutive Olympic gold medals. In the United States, rowing legends like the coxswain Michael Altman and Olympic champion Megan Kalmoe have made significant contributions to the sport. Additionally, New Zealand's Mahe Drysdale is celebrated for his dominance in single sculls, securing multiple world championships and Olympic titles.

In the UK, you can get a rowing club blazer made at specialized sports retailers like Henley Rowing Club or The Rowing Blazer Company. Additionally, companies like J. Barbour & Sons and A. M. S. Tailoring offer custom blazers tailored to your specifications. Many rowing clubs also have partnerships with local tailors or online retailers that can provide bespoke options. It's best to check directly with your rowing club for recommendations and any specific requirements.

There is sweep rowing where each rower has one oar either to the right or the left, and usually involves fours, eights, or pairs. Both fours and eights have a coxswain. The other type of rowing is sculling in which each rower will have two oars, that are smaller. Sculling boats are normally singles, pairs, and quads.
