You can definitely tire yourself out pretty quickly by having a high stroke count coupled with short quick strokes. Once i started leaning back far into my stroke making a long deliberate motion this reduced my stroke count but my times started to decrease too.

Good point I am reading up and watching videos on technique.
I find rowing a good challenge, because it isn't all about speed, you can have a lower s/m and get a better work out then someone with a high s/m.
There is a setting on the Concept 2 monitor that shows your stroke in graph form, it is great because it allows you visual to track how your technique.
