Thanks for posting.

The section describing proper form was of particular interest to me, since I know my technique is terrible.

For me I only ever use rowers for sprints, as I prefer interval type training. I just chuck the resistance to 10 and do repeated 500m sprints. I'd like to say that I do this regularly, but in reality it's been a few years since I would do this. At the moment I am recovering from a knee injury which obviously inhibits my ability to row.

Could you tell me roughly what a good time is for a single 500m sprint? Or do you seldom row such a short distance? My guess would be that something under 1:20-1:30 would be considered fast.
