Your 500 m split of 2:00.0 produces 202.5 W of power. The split-to-watts relationship is cubic, so small improvements in pace require disproportionately larger power gains.
At this intensity you burn approximately 37 kilocalories per 500 m rowed (based on the Concept2 on-screen calorie formula).
A MET of 34.7 places this in the vigorous intensity zone, consistent with standard exercise classification guidelines.
For men rowing a 2000 m time trial, this split puts you in the Intermediate category. See the reference table below for full benchmark ranges.
