Answer
Hi Terry: Per the Concept II Online Database, out of 251 50-59 year-old lightweight make rowers listed, your 2000M time ranks 188th.  

While that is below average, you have to remember that rowers up to 165 pounds are considered lightweights.  You are almost 40 pounds below that.  Factoring your weight, your weight-adjusted time is 6:50, which is outstanding.  So for your weight and age, you are doing quite well, relatively.

Your 5K time ranks 108th out of 181 rowers -- also very good considering your size.
