Weather - 80 degrees, raining, humid. A challenging day for a track workout. I joined 2nd Wind for 6 x 800m intervals with 7 minutes between starts, so plenty of rest if I could run under 3 minutes for each 800m. We started with 4 x 100M accelerations. The first 3 intervals were done in a humid rain, then it cleared for the last 3, but the humidity seemed to be even heavier. Here are my times : 1) 2:47 2) 2:48 3) 2:54 4) 2:58 5) 2:57 6) 2:58 My goal was to simulate the final 800M of a race, so I was not holding back for each 800m. It makes sense that I was slowing down with each rep, but I was pleased that the last 3 leveled out at just under 3 minutes. Overall I am happy with my effort, although I feel I could have run a bit harder towards the end, but the pain of oxygen debt once again intimidated my mind. I need to keep working on it. #201 z.m. - #114
