Generating Steam Heat

It was a hot one this evening,how hot?my bandana was soaked after my mile of strides!!!
Heat or no heat I wanted this workout to be full throttle since I may have to take a little off my 2x1,000m repeats Thursday as it,s close to Saturdays 1,500m at Widner in the Mid Atlantic C,ships.
What I wasn,t expecting was an opening 400m in 64 seconds and a closing 200m in 31 seconds,1.35.36,rather puts last Wednesdays 66/33 1.39.49 to shame,however w/ said genie well and truly out of the bottle how would I hold up on the remaining 5 600s?
Clearly I wasn,t going to be able to hold onto that pace as my 1.15 2nd 400m bore out,however I did close w/ a 33 second 200m to clock 1.48.33.
200m into repeat#3 and I was feeling it a 1.17 400m followed by a 35 second 200m to clock 1.52.64,no six for six tonite!!!!,in fact at this stage I briefly considered taking a 12 min recovery and throwing in a 1,000m repeat to go 3x600m/1x1,000m a mix and match of tonite and Thursdays workouts.....piss on that I believe was the answer I gave myself,I came here to do 6x600m and that,s exactly what I was going to do.
1.16 for the opening 400m of repeat #4 b4 a 33 second 200m,1.49.17,the words skin and teeth sprang to mind,a few other choice gaelic expressions came to mind but we won,t go there!!
Disaster on repeat #5 I was toast,I pulled up at 400m off of a woeful 1.25 lap,desperate times call for desperate measures,mulligan,I lay on the track w/ my legs up against the wall to drain the lactic acid out of them,I wasn,t taking the repeat lying down!!!
1.15/33 for a 1.48.07.alrighty one more,1.16/31 yep another 31 second closing 200m to finish in 1.47.47,five out of six for the third week in a row,last week I went,1.39,1.41,1.46,1.47,1.48,1.51 today I went,1.35,1.47,1.48,1.48,1.49,1.52,last week my closing 200s went32,33,33,33,33,36 today I went,31,31,33,33,33,35.
I,m pleased I had it in me today to see the repeats through even if I had to invoke a mulligan,given the choice of calling it quits after 4 600s or taking a lactic acid draining time out and compleating repeats 5 and 6 I have no problem w/ the latter,that said next time out I,d like the 600s all under 1.50 and w/out the mulligan.
