10,000m on Concept2 Model C, 43:55, 25 JUL 07, Fort Campbell KY

Bear McCreary, "Passacaglia"

I damn near woofed after my spinning session. It started out okay, holding about 2:10-2:11/500m, but there were portions that I could only grind out at about 2:14-2:16/500m. Had it not been for those slow patches, I think I would've done better. I know I've been able, once built up, to hold about 2:07-2:10/500m, but I think that took some substantial training effort.

Otherwise, I finished strong, going at about 2:05/500m or so in the last 500m, but I was intent on finishing within 44 minutes. Then I did some lifting (bench and shoulder presses), so my arms are actually quite sore right now.

It's very unusual to think of Bear McCreary in a gym packed full of people lifting weights, but I really had a hard time trying to come up with a legitimate mantra this morning. Even most of my guilty pleasures wouldn't float this morning.

It was interesting to see the Concept sitting mostly unused as the gym was packed full of troops this morning...which is part of the reason why I do what I do.
