2k Row
6:59.7 today... PR. The plan was to break my pace into 250m intervals. I chose 1:36. 1:38, 1:40, 1:42, 1:44, 1:46, 1:46, and "all out." I did pretty well with this plan the first half then it all went to shit. Next time I think I'll come out the gate a bit slower and try to sustain that rate through-out the first few intervals. I think I'd also like to break my intervals into 5x400m (based off the computer's breakdown) sections and strategize from there.
The complete computer breakdown is:
Totals: 6:59.7 2000m, 1:44.9/500m avg, 26s/min avg
1:17.5 0400 1:36.8/500m 29s/m
1:22.4 0800 1:43.0/500m 26s/m
1:25.6 1200 1:47.0/500m 26s/m
1:29.1 1600 1:51.3/500m 24s/m
1:25.1 2000 1:46.3/500m 27s/m
Weight: 163.0

Numbing Burn
10 minute cap
2K Row
Then AMRAP Double-Unders in the time remaining
7:06.0 on the row... Happy to have paced myself and still be within 1 sec of my PR. I was actually able to walk away from the rower, unfortunately I went full retard on the du's. I decided to just keep my body moving and ran with singles. Nabbed 176 before the clock stopped.

Quads R.I.P.
2000m Row
GHD back extensions, 5x12
Well, I had a goal... sub 7 minutes.
I had plan... 1:40 for 250, 1:42 for 250, 1:44 for 250 1:46 for 250, 1:48-1:50 for 500, 1:46 for 300, and ALL OUT for 200.
I had encouragement... Chase and the boys were in my ear.
What I lacked (or lost) was focus... if even for the briefest of moments. I missed 2 pulls when I let my body over power my mind and take a moment to rest. My guess is those moments cost me 3 sec each and I wasn't able to regain them. My final time was 7:05. I couldn't get off the ground for 15 afterwards, so I didn't exactly make it to the GHD machines.
I looked for a memorable quote that would capture the antagonistic nature between body and mind during intense/stressful situations, but came up empty handed... However, I think its clear that the body will ALWAYS want to stop, quit, slow down, take it easy, etc. Its the mind (and our focus) that determines what we do. Oh, and I made my own quote:
"A strong body is nothing without a strong mind, but a weak body can be anything with one."
