iThink:

WX at 06:58    Calm    9.00    Fair    CLR    66    65             96%    NA    NA    30.05    1017.9       

Odometer 14B: 410.1mi

Z4-Z5 finish.  Average/max heart rate = 163/180

Don't know where the iThink came from.  I was not expecting to crank my PB for 8km, but I'll take it.  I started to see where I thought I'd crank, and as an experiment in "go as fast as you reasonably can in the first 1km," I was holding about 2:05/500m and just hung on until the end.  So long as I was continuing to go a certain speed, and was willing to take the pain (perhaps the most important aspect), the rest would follow, and it did.
