Z4, Z5 finish.  Average/max heart rate = 143/175

I felt surprisingly fast for this morning's 5km erg.  I was planning on going 10km, but I decided to get a little bit more sleep and concentrate on raw power more than endurance work.  I wasn't sure how I was going to crank, but like most of the time I erg, it's really a function of initial speed.  Once I feel like I've settled at a given speed, I'll continue to grind on.  It means if I start hard, I continue to grind hard.  Likewise if I start at a more sedate pace - it's harder to gear up to much faster without significant mental effort.

This morning's iThink was well off the beaten path.
