Unleashed In The East End

I should've know what kind of a crap day I was in for when I got up at 7.45am for the West Ham Spurs game,I fuckin' hate "wet spam" and the fact those bubble blowin' claret and blue bastards beat us 2.0 set the tone for my morning!!!!
Normally a 7.45am kick off works in my favour,I can out the door by 10am and over to Geasey Field by 10.40am as opposed to a 10am kick off which ends by 11.50am and sees me at the track around  12.45pm-1.15pm depending,.....this was one day I wish I had arrived there later!!!!

I saw the potential for problems as soon as I arrived at the track at 10.40am, a rather large group in the infield it would be too much to ask for them to stay in the infield I guess and sure enough by the end of my 6 lap warm up they had split into two groups,walkers  on the home straight,sprinters on the back straight at least the team leaders of the walkers opted for the outside lanes.....unlike the pair of ''rocket scientists" in charge of the sprinters who opted to use the inside lanes inspite of the fact there were  several other runners on the track,if it had only been me running I could've seen that blatant kind of stupidity but seriously you're gonna screw half a dozen other runners because you don't have the common sense to move over to lanes 6,7 and 8????????
I knew I was on a hiding to nothing now w/ 5x1,000m,I 'd have to negotiate the back straight twice per repeat......in for a penny,in for a pound I guess!!!!

#1 1,000m
1.11-1.16-38=3.05.4
I knew I'd probably shot myself in the foot going out that fast on the opening repeat but once the Genie's out of the bottle what are you going to do?

#2 1,000m
1.18-1.22-39=3.19.6
The beginning of the weaving from lane 1 to lane 3 and the back to lane 1 between 300m and 400m and again at 700m and 800m......

#3 1,000m
1.19-1.24-40=3.23.4
Bad enough I'd gone out too hard on the first repeat but now all the extra track I was being forced to run on the back straight was killing me.

#4 1,000m
1.24-1.21-39=3.24.9
Tempting as it was to throw the towel in I kept going,even on a bad day I want to be able to say i saw it through to the very end

#5 1,000m
1.21-1.25-35=3.21.5
The closing 200m in 35 seconds was pleasing but the 1.25 for the second 400m kind of killed it overall.

I ended the session at negative 2 seconds from my previous 5x1,000m repeats,clearly going out like the proverbial "Bat Out Of Hell" on #1 set me up for the fall but IF I hadn't been forced out into lane 3 on the the back straight on #2 and #3 I might've just kept them under April 20ths collective times.
Live by the sword,die by the sword I always say but a little common sense by other people on the track wouldn't have hurt matters
