Tuesday night CSU interval session. I arrived late and missed the first two intervals - 1600m and 1200m. After a short warmup, I tucked in behind Brendan for the rest of the session, and ended with a short cool down. The total session was 2800m of intervals at 6:00/mile pace or 3:40/km.

Splits:
800m: 3:00 / 2:02 rest
1000m: 3:43 / 1:46 rest
600m: 2:14 / 1:44 rest
400m: 1:20

My right calf was discomforted after the session, though the cold conditions may have exacerbated the situation.

I have much on my mind; many things are uncertain. My usual approach has proven unable to effectively address present circumstances.

Biking to the interval session from work in cold and rainy conditions. The temperature was 8 C, there was a strong breeze, a light rain was falling, and I had dressed without considering today's weather conditions - in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Needless to say, I was displeased, and briefly considered going home instead of attending the workout.

Afterward, while still cold, I biked on a most inefficient route to Anna's to reconstitute my strength with a burrito.
