Ended up hitting 1:43.3. Somewhat disappointing, but not terrible for a middle-aged guy who doesn’t practice rowing.

The rower is probably my favorite cardio machine. I used to do a series of 500m row sprints for my harder conditioning day. Best efforts were always around 5:06 minutes and 508m or so.
