AM - 65 minutes incl. the "classic" Lincoln tempo in 24:24. Splits of 5:22, 5:22, 5:23 (that one felt a little slow), 3:12 and 5:05 (2:38/2:27). Despite the metronomic precision of the first three miles, a feat never before accomplished, and the fact that it felt under control, the effort overall was abit beyond tempo. I had neither the need nor the desire to force the issue from 3 miles to the finish, thus the 15 second rule for the last mile was broken. Woke up less than refreshed, morning pulse on the high side. A muggy warm morning to boot. Keeping up this kind of effort for 13 miles in two weeks' time is another matter entirely, I'll need to be better rested to pull it off. Abbreviated cooldown. Knee felt fine throughout the warmup and tempo, some soreness on the cooldown and then feeling the tightness afterwards.
PM - 30 minutes very easy to and from the pond with 25 minutes in the pond. Barely moving due to stiffness from the morning workout. Cross-currents in the pond a total pain, shoved me way offline. Felt more humid this evening than at any time during the day.
