Quick answer
Rowing pace is usually expressed as split time per 500 meters, calculated from total time divided by distance in 500m units.
split per 500m = total time / (distance / 500)

Frequently asked questions
What's a good 2k split?
Competitive rowers often hold 1:40-1:50/500m splits for a 2000m race; recreational rowers may be 2:00-2:30.
How is power output estimated?
It uses the standard Concept2 formula relating split pace to watts, though actual output can vary by machine calibration.
