16 miles tonight with Logan at the DC. Big Workout: 3 mile warm up, 2 miles a Tinman tempo, 7x1 mile repeats w/ 200m recovery, 3 mile cool down. This was a bear! The mile course was back and forth or up and down the trail down to Bloomington from the freeway bridge. My garmin shows only about a 20ft difference between the top and bottom side on all of the miles. So I'd say there is less than a 1% grade maybe like .5%- however on all the miles back up we hit a good headwind, and then on the 7th mile back down the wind changed and we had it there too. Mile times were; 1. 5:15-down and getting out maybe a little too quick for the first one, 2. 5:32-back up and realizing this is going to be work coming back up against this wind, 3. 5:23, 4. 5:34, 5. 5:23-just trying to survive, 6. 5:25-maybe my best one- back up the river here and against a heavy wind, 7. 5:15- this one could have been faster but the wind switched on us and plus I was spent. I was really pumped after this workout. I did a lot better than I had planned on doing coming into the workout. Really glad to have this one in the bank! (SS-164.5)
