After last week's shitty return to racing, I thought it would be best to hop right back in with a new race. This one was much better. I did not wear my watch but rather focused on my breathing, my form, and the competitors around me. Instead of thinking baout the results, I thought about what i was doing in that particular moment and let the results take care of themselves. If you noticed the detailed splits below, you will see that I was able to just settle in and cruise 36s, which is 15:00 pace. The problem is right about half way through when it starts to get quite difficult. I tried to concentrate and inserted surges but the lactate buildup in my legs was too great. I held it together much better than I did last week though and I'm headed in the right direction. I need to add in some threshold work to extend the time I can handle 72/lap. Pretty happy with this. you can see in bold where I need to work to improve.
