I Can't Drive 65

After two days lost due to the rain it was a joy to be running this evening period,the fact it was a repeat workout and at Franklin Field was the icing on the cake.
To prove how goofy the weather is I was able to wear tshirt and shorts this evening,hard to imagine that yesterday and the day b4.
Tonite was my last chance to be inside Franklin Field for a week....Distance Nite at Penn Relays,b4 returning next Saturday for the Masters 4x400m relay,who knows when my next workout will be there.
I was looking forward to tonites workout,"Dib"and I had talked about fine tuning my 4x400m and trying to keep an even pace throughout instead of going out fast and trying to hold on,the magic number was 65,65 seconds per 400.............
#1,64.84.close to what I was looking for,I resisted the temptation to check my split at 200m and tried to judge my pace on feel.
#2,62.34.Impressive if I say so myself,it felt comfortable which ultimately would be the key to the workout.
#3,62.00.Clearly I was reaping the benefits of even pacing,after my last 4x400m on March 31st when I went: 61.76,62.55,65.52,68.70."Dib" had gone to great lengths to sell me on even pacing,the plan was 65,65,65,65. in typical Top Cat fashion I'd managed to go faster.
#4,62.96.for a split second at 200m I felt the strain of back to back to back 62 second 400s w/ diminished recoveries but this was far and away my best set of 400m repeats to date.
Off of 6 minutes recovery I began my 2,400m,last time out I went:1.33,1.34,1.35,1.29,1.30,65 for a overall time of 8.46.46.tonite I went:1.20,1.26,1.27,1.23,1.30,60.55. for an overall time of 8.06.13.
I'm still reeling from that final lap of 60.55."Dib" told me when he first introduced the 2,400m to the 4x400m that my final lap of the 2,400m had to be as fast or faster than my last 400m in the 4x400s..............no worries there then eh???
Why tonite was as good as it was I can't put my finger on,two days rest?that strange orange ball in the sky?the recent return of all things Iron Maiden on my discman and ipod?who knows,why ask why I say.
