5 PM
run intervals (Terrain Loops) 39:44 9.0 km (4:25 / km)
shoes: x-talon 212
Warm-up lap of the terrain loop followed by 3 laps flat out.
5 minutes rest after the first one. The last one was a handicap start, so I got a good 14 minute break before the last.
9:24 7:19, 7:37, 7:24
Felt good on the first one, really sprang up the first hill without cooking myself. Not so much on the second. Knew it would be much slower after struggling up that first hill. Really glad to have the long rest before the third. Didn't want to start it, but glad I did, and glad there were lots of people to chase down.
Amazing how many thoughts can go through your head in a short space of time. After running though the group, and passing Tooms on the last snad downhill, I got within a few metres of Chris as we hit the drive-in. I ran hard to get on his heels by the last turn, but felt spent when I got there and convinced myself I would just run in behind him... then from somewhere the competitive edge returned, and as soon as we went past the skinniest part of the track, I just went with a flat out sprint and held it to the end. Dunno where it came from, but good to know it might be there if needed in a race.
Now sitting on the couch, absolutely shattered.
