One Last Time

Week 6 of Belmont hill repeats and right back where we started,Thursday nite and 6 x flagpole,for the record on week one I went:2.02.08,2.02.17,2.04.43,2.02.29,2.00.67,1.50.47.
There was the threat of rain going into the evening but it didn,t keep either Chuck or myself from showing up,xc workout in xc conditions,for the first time in three years I had a shot at going 6/6,a 50% chance of showers was not going to deny me that!!!
We were joined tonite by Nick,he,s a new member of GPTC and a brave soul to join Chuck and I on the sixth and final week of hill repeats but as Nick said afterward you,ve gotta start somewhere,to whit I chimed in w/"pain is temporary,glory lasts forever"
1.57.29. for repeat #1,5 weeks and a 5 second improvement,2.01.46.a marginal improvement but an improvement no the less.
2.01.34,a 3 second improvenment,a ringing endorsement to my strenght training for the last 5 weeks,2.01.55,again marginal improvement on week#1s #4 repeat,I knew I wasn,t going full tilt and yet I was still faster than 5 weeks ago.
2.00.66,almost identical to 5 weeks ago when I clocked 2.00.67.,and so to the 34th and final hill repeat of the 08 season,1.48.70,2 seconds up on my #6 repeat 5 weeks ago,I do declare these hill repeats over and w/ 8 xc races coming up in the next 11 weeks we,ll see how well they,ve prepared me beginging Saturday at Ospray over 6k
