I would kinda advise keeping your eye on legspeed if you're gonna use a rower to train on, as given the technique about 40 strokes a minute is a good optimum stroke rate for getting power down - much slower than a bike. Our coach used to make us jump rope as well, and I got into cycling because that same coach made us ride to and from training, and do legspeed drills on the bike.
I know given the amount of time and thought you guys put into your routines this may be an unnecessary bit of advice, but I thought I'd better mention it just in case.
