6,000m on Concept2 Model E, 25:35.1, 11 JAN 10, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

iThink: Anberlin, "Cold War Transmissions"

WX at 1300: 30.0 (-1.1) 21.9 (-5.6) 30.35 (1027) N 12 RH 71

Odometer 1: 267.0mi equivalence

Z3 high, Z5 finish.
Average/max heart rate = no reading

Too slushy to run outside, and I'm not running the day after rubbing part of my big toe raw yesterday because of the Yaktrax compressing parts of my shoe.

I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

The average pace on the Concept was around 2:09-2:10/500m but the last 500m was done at a pace that steadily accelerated up to the finish, which was reading 1:50/500m. Naturally, at that pace, I almost had the dry heaves after finishing.

I find that lower drag factors have improved my form somewhat, where I concentrate on pulls and not on just raw power.

The lifting I did (first in a long while, really) is an attempt to take care of the latter. Unfortunately, I've lost much (but not all) of what I built up in mid-2009, so I have some work to do in that department.
