Rowing 500-Metre Split Time from Power Output Calculator

Split = 500 / (P/2.80)^(1/3) seconds per 500 m.

Compute the 500-metre split time (sec/500 m) from power output in watts using the standard rowing ergometer equation: split = 500 / (P/2.80)^(1/3). Also reports the average pace per 1000 m and estimated 2000-metre time, assuming a constant power output.
