New rower with high hopes and room for growth

Hello Free Spirits,
I am a new member and am excited to join this community. I stumbled on this forum after an exciting day yesterday at my Orange Theory class where I clocked in at 6:48 on the 2k row in my first attempt (although I am reading that these are easier to row than C2, so I am excited to get access to one of these). I am 6'3, 232 lbs, 33yo and have a lot of belly fat I can get rid of. I know I still had more in the tank and didn't start my sprint early enough. I am brand new to this, and would love to pick everyone's brain here about how far I might be able to take this. I signed up for an on-the-water course in Oakland CA. My love for the ocean/lakes makes it worth it enough, but being motivated by some races adds an exciting extra element to improving my technique and PB.
First question, about how much rest do you give yourself between PB attempts? I know there a lot of factors here, but getting a general sense would help me a great deal. I felt very pumped to get back on the machine today to try to improve.
Thanks for any advice, and I look forward to learning a great deal here!
