Metal state before:  
Fearing today's wod. 
Knowing it would be long. 
But trying to divide up in increments that I can manage focused on 1 st 3000m

1st 12:36:5.  2:06/500m 23s/m
No power strokes - hit 2k @ 8:20
Mental
Knowing I hit 2k 6 sec after my best time with no power strokes felt good.
Average was around 2:05 wavering the whole time.

Mental prior to 2nd
Gotta get it done
1000 m at a time.

2nd 12:29.4. 2:06.5/500 hit 2k" 8:20 25s/m. Had to do power pulls for last 200 to maintain pace.
Rough one
Mental after. 
Had to keep giving myself things to do count strokes struggling a little to keep average up.
Rough.

Mental before 3rd.
Going home. 
Just breathe and do it. 
6 times 500 - come on now.
3rd 12:39.0. 2:06.5/500 hit 2 k 8:25 25s/m
Last 500 is a blur - had to do mostly power pulls to get average up.  Last 20-15 pulls were around 1:59:00/500m  this sucked !!!!!
Mental after:
Had to count divided up in 500m increments 
Struggled to keep 2:07 but I did. 
Hell last 1000m super hell last 500m.

Good to know I can be extremely uncomfortable for 2 mins without dying.
Did not throw up.

Cool down 500

10 strokes arms and back
10 strokes slide only, keep it slow
Remainder-normal rowing.
