Unfortunately I didn't get to the track until the warmth of the day arrived. I didn't exactly miss the breeze either. Workout was 7x1000m in 3:05-3:06 on 2:00 rest. The flag at the school was perfectly limp for the first three and then the breezes came in as the temperature climbed. And of course with 1000m reps, you are alternating back and forth between having an extra 200m against the wind versus with the wind.
Times were:
3:04
3:05
3:06
3:05
3:05
3:07
3:13
Oops on the last one. Had some restroomish issues between the 6th and 7th reps which made for an uncomfortable and slower final rep. No biggie.
I'm reminded of how any heat whatsoever (meaning 70+) causes me to wilt very quickly. In many parts of the country, you can't avoid 70 degrees even running at 3am. So we are blessed up here to have such temperate climate but running hard in 70+ heat just makes me wilt. Not a complaint, just a fact of life.
Now I get to go outside and enjoy the almost 80-degree weather. Need some lemonade. |
