8,000m on Concept2 Model D, 35:35.7, 10 JUL 14, Kabul, Afghanistan

Today is day 230 of the campaign.

iThink: none, surprisingly.

WX at      7 AM (11) Jul 10     95 (35)     30 (-1)     29.86 (1011)     NW 6 RH 10

Odometer 14B: 4.7mi

Z3 threshold.  Average/max heart rate = 147/156

Something not too hard, not too easy after yesterday's twenty minutes in zone 5.  I knew if I went hard today it would be a bad thing, so I was looking for a row of about zone 3, although it popped briefly into zone 4.

The trick was trying to get as much in as I could  at a reasonably controlled rate so I could bank low-intensity time erging to not go too far into zone 4 - which occurred at around the 30-minute mark.  The challenge then became to be disciplined to prevent from going too hard but still maintaining speed and form.
