3k, 2.5k, 2k/5:00r

46:25.2 Total time

31:25.2
2:05.6 average split
27 s/m

Time       Meter    Split      s/m
12:37.9 3000 2:06.3 27
10:30.7 2500 2:06.1 27
8:16.5 2000 2:04.1 27

Felt like a good workout.  My goal split was a 2:08.  The first one was fast, but I felt like my heart rate went up when I tried to slow down.  The last one I went out at a 2:06 for the first 500, tried to settle to 2:08 for the second 500, and then tried to hold 2:06 for the next 500, and drop whatever time I could in the last 500.

When I'm finishing a piece, I feel like I can't control my body and my body steadily brings up the rate and drops the split.  Not a bad thing, but it's weird.  I used to really reserve until a distance remaining I knew was comfortable for me to sprint.  Now, it's like I start bringing it up really early, but do it incrementally enough that it doesn't matter that it's so early.
