PM: 1 hr. Pool run 

Muddy out in some spots but the rain held off for the most part which was nice. Last 5: 5:48,5:38,5:35,5:33,5:30. It actually felt pretty easy to go that pace even with the muddy path. I am feeling really strong so far this cycle.

Wow, excellent finish. Did you plan it to be a bit progressive speed-wise?

Mike,

Yes I wanted to slowly progress. However, in my mind I wanted to not go lower than 5:35. I can feel myself getting in better shape when 5:32-5:30 feels "easy" in the sense that what used to be a 5:40 effort results in a 5:30!
