8,000m on Concept2 Model D, 34:48.6, 17 APR 14, Kabul, Afghanistan

Today is day 146 of the campaign.

WX at 5 AM (9) Apr 17     66 (19)     30 (-1)     29.97 (1015)     ESE 8

Odometer 13B:263.0mi

Z4.  Average/max heart rate = 161/172

The spot on my right foot is still pretty sore, so I decided to back off the running and go for a row instead.  Today was an exercise of "I want to erg faster than 35 minutes" once I settled into target pace, and that turned into a balance of how hard I went (so I didn't go too far into oxygen debt) versus required speed and power.  As usual, as I got further into it, it got easier, but that's also tempered by the fact that I got more and more tired as I got into it.  How long I can hang on before I start petering out is always a challenge.
