I was recommended to start rowing and apparently I have a real talent for it. My first time ever on an erg was 6:32, the goal now is exploring if I can really handle rowing at a weekly level, and if my numbers improve I would compete. Will post here about things and updates

It really kills you, you feel like you're dying. The standard is doing a 2 kilometre run and doing it sub 7 is good, sub 6:30 is really good, sub 6:10/15 starts getting nationals level and sub 6 is high level competitive. Im feeling very positive since i havent worked out properly in a long long while but somehow I've got the right build for it. I need to build a proper aerobic base to actually see how far I can max out.

My back and triceps and biceps arent that sore, as they could be, I got a good sleep, I won't be rowing today just a normal workout, It was really fun seeing the guys reaction when he realized I did a sub 7 in the first try.
Rowing rewards a good frame and base
Whats drawing me to it is the culture and history behind it all. We don't have that in India, but it feels much much more interesting than any other sport Ive played.
