Very good race today. The focus was where it needed to be and I made sure I worked hard to stay with the group in the first half. My goal was to run with Connor as long as possible and I stayed with him for about 2/3 of the race. I should have worked harder to stick with him a bit longer. The speed was good and the pace progressively increased throughout the race, with a very strong finish going downhill and keeping the pace on the flat straight line to the finish.
I don't think I finished with everything out for this race, but I hit a very good and hard Wednesday effort.

Good long run, some slippery and tricky parts but a good pace overall. Legs were really tired for the rest of the day, gonna get some good sleep tonight to be ready for tomorrow's race.

I felt really tired going into this workout but not sore at all which was pretty cool. Overall not the best Thursday workout I've ever done as I felt really empty, especially during the run part.

15 min cooldown, at 5min/k pace
Hip mobility

Stretch and roll

Good workout, pushed the tempo to stick with Connor but was still in control. I was pissed about Monday's tempo and decided that I would make things right and that from now on I wouldn't let the group go away so easily during tempo.
Brazilians were hard, but I hit a very good Wednesday effort without overextending like last week. I focused more on my arms and it felt much faster and smoother than last week.

2 sets of lower leg strength
6 min swimming

That was a good pool workout. The first set didn't go as I wanted to because my focus shifted a bit, but I managed to get it back for the next two intervals and worked really hard on each and every 40 sec.

Rolled my hips before starting
30 min elliptical
20 min barefoot run
Ice bath

The elliptical was a very good and steady effort. The running part was really painful for the shins. I took a kick right where my shin hurt this morning and still felt it for the rest of the day even though I iced a lot.

Not really happy with that workout. I stayed with the group for the first 10 min but started to be out of control and letting them go after the first hill going back on campus. I tried to catch up but couldn't and ended about 10/20 meters behind. I need to focus on keeping with the group, even though it means losing control for 30 seconds.
The faster stuff was better. The speed was there and the second 2 mins felt really fast.
I have some bad shin splints going on right now so I'm gonna ice a lot on them and stretch and roll a lot to get rid of the tightness in my muscles.
