No, I did two races that day; a 500 and a 2000. I improved on both of them this year: I think my 500 was 1:25.5, and I also recall the 500 preceded the 2000 this year, which helped. I'm not a rower (obviously) but I do enjoy erging for a few weeks each year in the winter, and being able to compete in it.

@EllTarrant quite a lot of olympic athletes are only around 6 mins and under, the smaller ones anyway, nearly all are 5:50-6:00, the ergs are the easy bit, thats just fitness, which nearly everyone at the top level has equal, olympic standard means nearly always technique and mental ability, the 2009 german world champ 8 only had average erg score of just under 6 mins for god sake!
