AM: 16.5 miles with Jeff, Anthony, and Darek on a humid, warm morning in Tampa. I really like the Davis loop in Tampa. You can truly just roll. It's so dark in there early in the morning, so you can easily find a nice flow and just listen to your footfalls. Workout in the middle starting at mile 7. We did 6 x 1-mile at 15k-ish effort. After the first interval, Anthony stuck with me on number two, but then he backed off and it was a solo affair from then onward. I would have preferred him to stick with me, but when he let off the gas, I was happy I just kept my pacing the same for the rest of it. This summer was fun pacing everyone else, but it's time to execute and grow a little.
Splits- 5:48, 5:32, 5:29, 5:27, 5:29, 5:29.
The workout felt medium-easy, I did not come cloe to cracking, and the last interval would have been my fastest easily had I not gotten stuck turning around some traffic. Nice.
