Cardio and Double Unders

Today was a 2k row for time.  7:42::5.  I looked online and compared my results to some of the other members on the Concept 2 webpage and I’m around 7 or 8 hundredth down the list.  I have a ways to go and I can’t  wait until this one comes around again.  I know I can do better.  
Double unders are still the bane of my workout existence.  Today I did two rounds of 50 with a three minute break in between.  It took me 4:02 and 3:30.  Occasionally, I can knock out a few unbroken but normally for me to have any consistency I need to do a double under and then a single under.  Today it wasn’t working and I seem to be having issues with my timing.  So, I added two single unders followed by a double under.  I was able to produce greater consistency.  My goal was to shoot for 5 at a time.  If I hit that I would keep going.  
The plan is to keep this up until I’m consistently hitting 5-10 at a time.  Then I will up the number until I’m comfortable.  Then I’ll move back to my single unders followed by double.  I don’t know if I’m the only person that has had this much trouble knocking out double unders.  
I type all of my posts into a word processor that checks for spelling.  I rarely use it to check my grammar but I was curious today and it ended up starting at the top of the document.  In an earlier post I used the word bitch to describe a workout.  The workout was a named workout and the name was a woman’s, much in the way that hurricanes used to be named after women.  My proofreader told me this:  Bitch - sexist.  Avoid using this word to refer to women.  I can’t fault it’s logic but it tickled me.
