Row 5 x 1K (rest 3 minutes between intervals)

1.  3.49.3 (25) (170)
2.  3.49.2 (25) (174)
3.  3.49.9 (25) (176)
4.  3.48.5 (25) (180)
5.  3.48.3 (25) (180)

Notes:  Met goal of holding pace sub-1.55 throughout (1.54.5 average).  Did this same workout back in December and actually held an average pace of 1.51.9.  It's hard to believe that I was able to do that back then.  I'm stronger now and am scoring better on some WODs; however, I'm still struggling with the neurological adaptation on the rowing machine.  I feel like I'm cranking on the chain and drive against the machine with all of my power, yet the monitor simply isn't reflecting this effort.  I think it's just a matter of adjusting to rowing harder pieces.  In fact, my body came to life a bit on the 4th and 5th intervals tonight and it felt a bit more like it used to feel.  Limited myself to a 5-minute warm-up and a 5-minute cool-down in Z1.  Trying to tighten up the length on my training sessions.  Oddly, I felt amazing during my cool-down.  It felt as though I could've kept rowing for hours.
