Z4.  Average/max heart rate = 165/177

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel, but holding 2:07/500m for the first 2km was encouraging, so I was holding it as long as I could.  It lasted maybe halfway through, then I started slowing down as I usually do.  I was working hard to hold 2:11/500m in the last 4000m, then at the end started cranking harder, knowing it was close to the end, and ended up pulling more along the lines of 2:08/500m at the end.

I recognize this is not that fast by competition standards...but the only person I'm competing against is myself.  Also, I didn't feel like getting outside and running today.  Having the erg is a very useful alternative.
