Xeno,
Just looked thru the C2 USA site for Marathons and it looks like the 42,195m distance is only for individuals and the longer rows like the 100k, 24hr row and so on have teams of 2, or small teams of 3-10 people or large teams of 10 or more.
Having said that, in the UK we have not only the individual marathons but also the team ones which are for 4 people per team with each person having to row at least 2000m per go. Below is the list of times we set in breaking all 3 records the other week.
The mens team is a 1:39.3 ave. Nik Fleming is currently pulling a 5:59 2k while the other 3 guys on the team are around 6:12-6:15 for a 2k. Each of them rowed 5 sets of 2000m at around 6:35-40 per 2k while Nik was just under 6:30 for each of his 2k's. I reckon you should try to put a team together to beat this time as so far it's only really British teams have have been trying these marathon relays. Would be nice to see a USA/Iron Oarsman team up there too!!!
Cheers,
Jon
