Rained Out

So much for getting out for a 8 mile recovery run today,the weather Gods had other ideas,still it's another week under my belt, only 32 miles but two repeats. On the subject of repeats I should offer a post mortem on yesterdays"Death Cage" 6x600m repeats at Temple. After last weeks 4/6 sub 1.50s I was hoping to at least go one better if not get all six under 1.50. Arriving at Temple just b4 11am I did a 6 lap warm up b4 getting stripped down to my running gear and ready to have at it,the plan was 70/35=1.45......... 70/34-1.44.7.A good start,I may've gone out too hard last week when I opened in 67/35 70/36-1.46.4.Still on pace to go 6/6 74/35-1.49.0.Uh oh! At first I thought I was guilty of not being focused on my run when I clocked that 74 second opening 400...... 77/35-1.52.1.Bugger!! The sub 1.50s were shot,last week I clocked 1.50.3. on #4 b4 1.51.1. on #5 77/37-1.54.9.Had I opted to start my 600s at the 400m start/finish instead of the 200m start I would've only had to run into the strong headwind off the top turn and home straight once not twice,the buffering I took on the second 100 and final 100 took their toll. 76/34-1.50.1.Would've been nice to finish on a sub 1.50 period plus also equal last weeks 4/6 but again the wind had it's way w/ me. Overall I'm disappointed not to improve on my debut last week but it's a long season{I'm still three weeks away from my outdoor season debut and just under 14 weeks til Outdoor Nationals}so there's enough time to make improvements. I didn't expect to jump back into "The Death Cage" off the bat and go 6/6 sub 1.50 it's going to take time but as long as I stay positive i'm confident of getting there. It'll be interesting to see how the Russian Intervals {5x3x300m repeats}set me up for a return to 6x600m next Saturday
