It was cold, windy and rainy at the track, but there was still a good turn out, and I was glad to be out there. I didn't really have a plan as to what I was going to do, but I thought just some 4's and 2's would be good because of the wind. Turning the corner to the home stretch was killer, like running into a wall of pelting rain. I kept my recovery times short, in order to maximize such a short workout, about 45 sec for the 400s, and 30 sec for the 200s. I ended up doing 4 X 400, 4 X200, then 2 more of each. 3600 m of speed work on such a miserable day was easily as good psychologically as it was physically.
Here are the results
400s
1:27 / 1:28 / 1:26 / 1:24
200s
38 /39 /36 / 39 (wind aided, fast one was trying to keep pace with Wilson Perez)
400s
1:27 /1:27
200s
39 / 37
It was a dark and stormy night, when out of the inky shadows (implied Click & Clack).... Goupil cruises to his first 17M title of the fall/winter season. I was hoping for a shot at the second round, but with the rain and darkness, it made conditions too difficult for me to see the mark. Plus, it seems as though someone moved a mailbox into the running lane to slow down any unsuspecting runners(me). My specs were so fogged and wet that I couldn't even tell who took the title. Any help?
Again, Armadillo's was act@&**y a good time as usual.
God said to Abraham, Kill me a son. Abe said Man, you must be puttin me on. God said No. Abe said What? God said You can do what you want Abe, but, next time you see me coming, YOU'D BETTER RUN!
What's going to happen to the 17 mile race once we retreat to Baker Street?
ReplyDeleteYou're the big toe. We'll have to follow your lead.
ReplyDeleteC'mon now, you know I won the 17mile title on the cool-down. You just wanted to make me say it. It did help that I set everyone up to run into that mailbox! Speaking of mailboxes, when we move to Baker St. we'll be putting our shoes under there. Nice workout.
