The longer distance is starting to get easier but it's also partly because my body is starting to toughen to the longer pull. I was thinking about running today, but didn't quite get out the door, so the long pull was a necessary offset as I have been eating way more than I've been burning off.

Slow start as I was pulling about 2:20/500m, then accelerated to 2:15/500m about 5km in, and was holding below 2:15/500m in the last 5km. I was pretty stoked about that given that I wasn't intending on going very hard and the acceleration seems to have been a function of form and loosening up.

Instead of watching sports, I decided to put a DVD of the old 1994 animated series The Tick in the TV and watched that instead. It's been a long, long while!

SPOOOOOOOON!
