70F, 95%. Friday is track day, so I was back for more torture. This time 6 x 800m, 300m recoveries, shooting for 800's between my theoretical McMillan 5K and 10K pace - so 2:55 - 3:02. I was successful again; average was 2:57. I think I'm getting better at these, finally.
2:58, 2:59, 2:58, 2:56, 2:57, 2:56.
Recoveries averaged 1:33.
Only downside today was all the gnat clouds around one of the curves. They all seemed to be right on the inside of lane 1. So the choice was to either run through the gnats, or take lane 2 and add a little distance....my chest ended up looked like a killing field with maybe a hundred dead gnat bodies stuck to my torso. I think I ate 5 or 6, with one ending up in my eye. |
