Simpson loop, first time this year. Tried to push strongly on the uphills.

Event: Cemetery Hill Inaugural Sprint
 

Cemetery Hill Sprint. First competition w/ thumb compass. No errors attributable to the compass. A couple due to inability to read the map.

- Splits

800m w/u, 800m c/d, and 6 x 400 recovery between 400 intervals.

6 x 400 at the WPI track, done at increasing speed. High winds were blowing from the east, maybe 15mph. I didn't notice when the wind was behind me (homestretch), but it was in my face on the backstretch. Oddly enough, the 200 into the wind, run first, was faster than the 200 with the wind, run second. Only in one interval was I successful at evenly splitting the two 200s.

The interval times were 1:49, 1:46, 1:44, 1:43, 1:40, and 1:36. HR ranges from 142 for the first to 159 for the last.

Legs felt at about 80%.

Out and back from the karate studio. Legs still less than 100%, but much more functional than after last week's 12M.

The Crusher, clockwise, from Tatnuck Square, w/ R. and J. I was dragging a bit on the hills for the first couple of miles (no warmup), but after a Gu I felt a bit better, quite peppy toward the end, which is downhill slightly, after you reenter Worcester, but we were running sub-8's acc to R's Garmin and they felt fine.

Recumbent spin while solving tomorrow's Sudokus of the day.
