AM- Easy three to AC. It was sooo awesome to see so many guys out to morning practice! 19!!! NEW RECORD BY FAR!! That really reflects what a strong team commitment wise we have this season! Last season it was about 12 was the record...just sayin'. Anyway, I felt good. I stretched well and rolled out my legs...it felt great.
PM- 8x3min I pace w/ 3 min. recovery. Oh my goodness this workout was a big step for me! I stuck with Mike almost the whole time (the last one was way back because mike was killing it and I was hurting)! The first three felt AMAZING I felt really like it was easy to stick with mike and we basically hit a 1000m for these 3 minutes. the fourth II was a little behind mike, but only a couple o feet. The fifth one was the slow one because I thought mike was going the right pace (like usual),but after he told me he didn't feel well and not to be afraid to pass him. The 6th one was awesome...as we came around the softball feild (100-200m into it) I settled for half of a second then just told myself let go and just go for it. I then started driving my knees more and just was going faster and faster. I ended up getting little past the 1000m mark...which felt awesome! The next one I was just behind mike just less than a second away from the 1000m mark. The last one I was just dead tired and gave into a couple of excuses....like fatigue so I wasn't my best finish, but it was a WAY big improvement from last week! To stick with Mike most of the workout felt awesome! Makes me that much more excited for SUU and the time trial tomorrow!! |
