Another Monday means another workout at the Dempsey Indoor. I had eight or so guys to run with tonight. Oh what a difference that makes. Of course running in 65 degree temps with no wind helps too.
Workout was 7x1000m in 3:00-3:03 on 90 seconds rest. I led the first two and we crossed in 3:00 and 3:01. Felt good. John Timeus led the next two and I was happy to sit back and draft behind everyone else. 3:00 and 3:01 for those two. Then things got interesting. Let's just say the bowels were not exactly cooperating. After #4 I had to visit the restroom. Managed to hustle back to the start just in time to begin #5. That one was tougher as I continued to have intestinal issues. Finished in 3:02 and then sprinted to the restroom for visit #2. Pardon the pun. Again managed to get back to the start of #6 to join the crew but halfway in dropped due to continuing issues. I waited for them to finish #6 and then joined them for #7 (my #6) This one went well. I finished in 2:57 which was at least five seconds back of the leader. They were smokin. They were done but I didn't want to finish one rep short so I did #7 on my own and finished in 3:02. Cooled down outside and seemed to be rid of the intestinal issues although I was pretty tired. |
