AM: 4.25

PM: 9.15 including 4x2km with 200m recovery in 7:28 (5:59 pace), 7:18 (5:50 pace), 7:22 (5:53 pace), 7:18 (5:50 pace) then 4x200m in 33, 33, 32, 31 with 1min recovery.  On the 2ks I was willing to just go 6 pace because it was more volume than I am used to in a workout and we had two guys who were just starting workouts for the season.  But on the second one jamie lead and put the pedal down.  Then I led the first few laps of the third one and then jordan took over and sped up.  And on the last one I led the first half mile right at 6 pace then jamie took over and must have really sped up as we averaged 5:50 pace including the first half mile at 6 pace.  During the 200s my left quad was weak as anything and I didn't have much but I managed alright.  I think I might have really gained some speed.  I want to do another 200 workout on fresh legs to see if I have.
