5/1/10

Fri 4/30 - PM 85 minutes incl. 5x1000, 4x400

Wind ruined my fun. Not quite as bad as yesterday's gales but plenty bad enough, hammered away all afternoon after being relatively still in the morning. Hip flexors still sore from Sunday, flat from a punishing week of long days, other than that a walk in the park. Compounded the trouble by doing the first kilo too fast. 200 jog between all reps, 4.5 minutes before the first 400.

3:18.9
3:20
3:21.8
3:22.2
3:22.6

75.2
72.0
76.9
73.4

Tried to alternate faster and slower 400s, it's difficult to describe how obnoxious the wind became on the final two reps. Stood me up on the home straight, the final 73 felt like a 63. Just awful. Wanted to do six but I was done after four and I knew it. Cooldown a crawl, right hip feeling worse with each step.
