Workout|Wednesday

Man what a brutal way to start the day. Met Ken at his office around 510. Proceeded up to the top of 46th to start our workout.

30X400 @ 5:00-5:10 pace off 400M recovery @ 6:20 pace.

Overall Avg was 78.4/95.4

Again what a tough workout. When I was deep into the workout I thought hey this is going to be okay, I'm tired but should be able to manage. I hit repeat 22 and the canyon headwind and the slight uphill took me for a loop hit 92/106. From there it was hard to get back down into the 70s for the on portion. From there I was fighting between 80-85 and the off portions started feeling like a workout on there own. 

Overall good gut check. Mr. Starrett said I would bonk but I didnt want to believe him.

So for now Starrett- 1; Ben-0
