No Buffalos,No Bullshit,No Worries

The potential problem w/ posting the above photo and caption prior to the workout was that if I fell on my arse I'd look stupid{though there is always the delete button!!}.....I needn't have worried!
If it's Tuesday it's Roxboro but in a change of script to allow a 12x400m repeat Saturday as a simulated 5,000m workout I went w/ my tried and tested 8x1,000m repeat hard on the heels of Saturday's monumental cock up at Temple.
It was hot at 5pm when I began the repeats but trust me it got a lot hotter as the 1,000s wore on!

#1 1,000m 1.15-1.21-38-3.14.9.Wow!the 1.15s aren't meant to kick in till Saturday!!Obviously I backed off a little over the closing 600m,there were 7 more 1,000s to come.
#2 1,000m 1.20-1.23-37-3.20.7.I'd be happy if I could hold this for the remainder of the workout,1.20-1.23 is a pace I could live w/ b4 bringing it down a notch over the coming weeks.
#3 1,000m 1.20-1.23-38-3.21.7.I was guilty of letting my focus wander over the final 100m,something I've been doing a better job of over my repeats recently.
#4 1,000m 1.21-1.22-37-3.20.9.Pop! the sound of my 1.20s going burst but still staying in the 3.20 range.
#5 1,000m 1.22-1.22-35-3.19.8.After the opening 3.14 I'd been easing my way up the home straight to compensate for that now that my opening 800s were slowing slightly it was time to push the closing 200s.
#6 1,000m 1.22-1.21-37-3.19.6.Hard to believe I was THIS consistent period,much less that today was my first 8x1,000m w/ a 2.5 recovery.
#7 1,000m 1.23-1.23-35-3.21.0.#7 is traditionally my slowest 1,000m but today might be the beginning of me lowering my splits and staying consistent.
#8 1,000m 1.21-1.21-32-3.14.5.You know it's your day when you not only close w/ your fastest 1,000m to date but it's faster then the 1,000m you opened w/.

I know one swallow does not a summer make but this was my best 8x1,000m repeat to date....go figure it'll be 18 days b4 I get to do another one due to my upcoming race schedule but this was a shot in the arm after a few hiccups on my recent repeats,as my ex coach used to say "there's more meat on that bone"....and I'm no Vegan!!
