10,000m on Concept2 Model C, 44:12.1, 29 SEP 06, Fort Leavenworth KS

Hilary Duff, "Wake Up" (not a particularly good erg mantra)

WX at 0600: 48.9 (9.4) DP 37.9 (3.3) BP 29.92 (1013) S 12 clear 66%

Odometer 2: 178.0mi

Z4.

My running partner chickened out on me this morning, opening up an alternative hard workout, and this delivered.

I obviously didn't drink enough water if I had to stop midway to hit the water fountain. This resulted in a fairly slow overall pace of 2:12.6/500M. 44:12 is not particularly horrible, but it isn't particularly good either. Then again, it factored in about a minute lost to the water break.

Drag factors started at 180, then dropped to 149, then settled back to max at 185 as I realized I'd probably be better off trying for power rather than for lighter effort as I was trying to work abs and upper body as well.

I like spinning at lower resistances, but I go faster at higher drag factors. Not sure why, though.
