One Workout At A Time

Tonite I hoped to buck a recent trend of starting out hard and then hanging on for my second 1,000,I just needed to shave a little off that first repeat.
Conditions were favourable,warm but not excessivly hot or humid and not too much wind,following my stretches and warm up it was time to go for it.
Having opened in recent weeks w/ laps of 67/68 seconds it was pleasing to clock a 1.10,in the general scheme of things this was right on pace,I followed up w/ a 1.11 split to clock 2.21 at 800m and threw in a respectable 32 second closing 200m,2.53.31.
I knew the first bend of the second 1,000m would set the tone for the entire 1,000m too timid and I,d be chasing the game so from the starting line into the first turn I attacked the turn and was rewarded w/ a 69 second opening 400m,now the trick was to hold onto that pace.
1.12 for my second lap,remarkably another 2.21 800m,if I,d been pleased w/ my 32 second closing 200m on repeat#1 I was about to become gob smacked...........29 seconds...jaysus,2.50.96.
Not only my fastest set of 1,000s but also I managed to run my second 1,000 faster than my first.
Sadly due to my schedule it,ll be almost a month b4 my next 2x1,000m repeat but this evenings times and performance will keep me going till July 23rd
