2.8mi + 10,000m on Concept Model C, 44:49, 5 AUG 06, Fort Leavenworth KS

Today wasn't intended to be particularly hard, but I was coopted by wanting to finish the erg in under 45 minutes. I was spinning at almost 2:00/500m for the last 400m, and pretty steadily 2:09-2:10/500m for the 2000m prior to that. I had something to prove, although I'm not sure what.

I think part of the difficulty in finding a running mantra is the basic difficulty of trying to find something tempoed at around 60bpm. I spin going about 30 strokes per minute, so that tends to exclude a lot of songs. Very little would stick while I'm on the erg.

I was pretty well and verily fried on the run back, though. No power going uphill.
