5.5mi (8x400 intervals)

Cruiserweight, "To Be Quite Honest"

WX at 0700: 72 (22), DP 69 (21), BP 30.06 (1017.6), W 6 fair, RH 91%

Odometer 3: 120.5mi

Z4 intervals
Resting heart rate before start = 50 (122/81)

I fucking hurt today. Today was supposed to be better than days prior, and yet, it was still ungodly humid. Fort Irwin suddenly sounds nice this time of year.

The torrential rainpours over the last few days might have something to do with it.

Still, my times are improving. I don't know if that's weather, conditioning, or just plain luck.

I fucking hate speedwork. The rest indicators on splits 5-7 indicate I was hurting worse than I was at the beginning.

Unfortunately, in the absence of any legitimately raw speed, I must work on it. Maybe it's time to hit the gym to the tune of leg presses also.

Splits/Rest
1: 103/2:28
2: 117/3:08 (retied shoes)
3: 96/2:41 (mostly downhill, fancy that)
4: 94/2:28
5: 103/2:44 (getting more tired at the end)
6: 115/2:44
7: 98/2:49
8: 98/2:28
