This wasn't quite the workout I'd prepared myself for as rode down to the track. The plan was do 20 x 400 meters with 1 minute rest between each one. When I arrived at the track not too many folks were around. I ran with a fellow Gazelle for an easy warm up on the trail. When we returned, a few other Gazelles turned up who had parked about 1 1/2 miles away. Amongst the group was David who asked if I'd join him for some Yasso 800s as he is a fair bit quicker than the other folks heading to Sacramento. I thought...what the heck, but figured I could probably only hang at his pace for 3 or 4. I surprised myself and stuck it out for 5, then I jogged a lap while he did #6, and then did #7 with him. I started with him for #8, but my legs were toast and he was a good 20 seconds in front of me by the end of that one. However, I think that may be my quickest set of 800s ever. The splits were: 3:02, 2:56, 2:48 (apparently that one was my fault ;o), 2:55, 2:50, 2:52, 3:04 (yup the legs were toast). I then had to ride my bike 4 miles home...it wasn't the quickest ride in the world ;o). |
