I love it, but you weren't lying. It's been about a week and I've gained around 5lbs. What were your erg times and what should I be shooting for for my 500m splits? The coaches told me what the varsity members go for, I just wanted to see what you and your team did.
I've only done enough to get acquainted with the ergs, our actual sets start next week Idk how these would really hold up endurance wise.
500m sprint against a buddy of mine, I got 1:50 with 1:44 being my lowest time during.
5mins at a more relaxed pace keeping with my friend, we got to about 1200m
My projected 30min distance was about 6990m, but I haven't actually had the chance to get on em for that long yet.

The running and circuit training are getting to me mostly. The actual rowing, as far as the other novices I've been paired with and the coach's expectations, has been easy so far.

If you're doing it for a while it becomes like a routine, you just do it and suck it up.
It's good training, my body was in great shape while i was hitting it.
Nonetheless good on you, keep it up.

no, you make that sound because you're retarded
intelligent people make sounds that sound awfully like coherent responses when they see "shit like this"

Me and my buds were hitting 1:30ish splits for our 500m. Just wait until you do a 20k~25k relay. God damnit I have never hated life so much more than having to do a 20,000m relay between 4 people.
With your splits you should always be going for distance before you go for speed. You should be able to crush out a 2k without feeling like dying afterwards with an average pace of 1:45~1:50. You are most likely going to fail the first few times, but its all about mindset.
