How is rowing pace converted to watts on a Concept2 ergometer?

The Concept2 formula is: Power (watts) = 2.80 / (pace in seconds per 500m)³ × 10⁶. A 2:00/500m pace equals approximately 192 watts. A 1:45/500m pace equals approximately 291 watts — a 51% increase in power for a 12.5% pace improvement.

What is an elite 2,000m rowing ergometer score?

Sub-6:00 is world-class for heavyweight men. Olympic-level male heavyweights average around 1:26–1:28/500m for the 2K. For lightweight men, sub-6:10 is elite. Women's heavyweight Olympic standard is approximately 6:45–6:55.
