8,000m on Concept2 Model D, 35:12.2, 8 MAR 14, Kabul, Afghanistan

Today is day 106 of the campaign.

Aly & AJ, "Out of the Blue"

WX at      9 AM (14) Mar 08     48 (9)     35 (2)     30.18 (1022)     N 7 RH 61

Odometer 14A: 35.6mi

Z4.  Average/max heart rate = 161/173

Not sure how I was going to feel - the usual hard start with rough transition led to a pretty singular focus to trying to beat a certain time based on projected finishing time.  Originally it started at 35:30, then dropped to 35:20, and by the end, I was holding 35:12, although I was running well into red zone to do it.  I guess it's gratifying to be able to finish at 1:59/500m that way, but that's nowhere near the actual average pace, which was much slower.

Not bad, but not great, although I guess I could claim yesterday's 10km as an extenuating factor.
