It is really hard to have a coherent set of iThink when the music in the CrossFit gym here is switching between emo and hip-hop and country. This is admittedly a First World Problem, but fuck my life, fuck my fucking life.
Seriously though, the first 4,000 was rough. I think part of it was being tired from yesterday's erg work, and part of it was also just being down here in the oppressive heat. The CrossFit gym here is reasonably well-equipped, although the only two things for which I was looking were Concept2s and GHD benches, both of which were in plentiful supply.
I started with 3x15 GHD situps before starting the erg. The ergs here are Concept2 Model Ds, but they only have PM3 computers, which is kind of unusual since they're brand new. Then again, most of the Crossfitters I know don't care about drag factor or HRM synchronization, and the latter only comes on a PM4.
I started to suck a little but I settled to finishing before 44:00. For that, the last 1000m was kind of unpleasant. Not quite zone 5 unpleasant, but still unpleasant.
Today was better than nothing. Then I went back to the transient quarters, aired my shirt, and it was mostly dry in about 10 minutes after being soaking wet. My shorts were already dry.
