Last 2K erg test - EVER

This spring is a spring of lasts... at the end of my umpteen year rowing career, I took my last 2K erg test today. For those of you that don't row, they are not fun and can drive you crazy if you let them. You sit on a machine and try to hit your maximum output for about 6 minutes, timing your effort expenditure so your body fills up with lactic acid and crashes at the precisely the right moment. It's a true 'max' test. Anyway, the tendency is to get really worked up a few days before because they involve so much pain and the scores are so important ranking you among the other athletes. You really have to work yourself up for them. The whole preparation process (building up, tapering down, getting mentally ready), takes about a week. I wanted this one to go well since it was my last, and hence I barely left the house this weekend and watched a lot of college basketball and Entourage on HBO On Demand. Yeah, how cool am I?
