10,000m on Concept2 Model D, 44:27.6, 5 APR 14, Kabul, Afghanistan

Today is day 134 of the campaign.

iThink:
Font 48, "The Look In Your Eyes"

WX at      6 AM (10) Apr 05     50 (10)     46 (8)     30.12 (1020)     NNW 3     light rain showers RH 87

Odometer 14A: 73.1mi

Z3.  Average/max heart rate = 156/163

I have no rational explanation for today's iThink.  None whatsoever.

Today I felt a lot better, in spite of getting about the same amount of sleep as yesterday.  Yesterday I was just dead on my feet.  Today I felt better, so I decided to work off my sins from yesterday (do nothing but eat).  Today was an experiment in how fast I could go while not exceeding anaerobic threshold (too badly).  I think it was not all bad, and perhaps most interesting is how close this time was to my last erg, considering the differences in relative effort.

Today is raining.  It's also Afghan election day.  I figured if I was going to take any chances, I'd take it in the gym, rather than being outside, in the event we took rocket fire today, just in case.
