Fri 12/4 - PM 55 minutes incl. 3 (5x200)

Back to the track, originally this was to be yesterday but a combination of adverse weather forecast and lingering fatigue pushed it back a day. In fact took a while to get out the door as I lolligagged about the house before getting out the door. Conditions mild enough that I was able to keep it local and put off going indoors which is convenient if nothing else. More of the "new" interval work with a distinct focus on a float recovery. My impression thus far is that an overall set length of 1600-2000m including recoveries is about all I can take, and 6k total of work is plenty. In fact starting to feel wobbly on the floats during the last set. Reps were a bit faster which was somewhat of an emphasis. I'd like to think it's a good bang for the buck though. The splits for the first set are lost to history as my watch ran out of memory and I had to clear it, but the whole thing took just over 7:30 with the reps being in the 39 second range and the recoveries in the 51 range. Second and third sets:

38.0/50.9
38.5/49.7
38.1/49.3
38.0/49.1
37.6/49.2
total 7:18.3

36.6/48.9
37.5/49.5
37.2/49.0
37.5/49.0
38.1/49.2
total 7:12.5

If nothing else I think I found my sweet spot for the float pace.
