4 x Coyote-Hawk hills

rep) split
1) 5:04
2) 5:10
3) 5:12
4) 5:21

I'm pretty sure my Garmin is broken and/or a big liar. On the one hand, these were a good bit faster than in Dec. On the other hand, I was busting my ass (literally, my glutes were aching) and I kept going slower. It was a bit frustrating. I was plenty tired though so it is what it is.

With Lisa for a bit then around the lake. Nice night.

Yesterday we welcomed Birkie and Hayward (new names), two 3 yr old cats, to the house. Birkie is curious and affectionate. Hayward is chill but reserved; he's going to need more time to adjust to all the changes.

Thunderstorms.

2.5 x ( 1k / 3 min + 2k / 5min) +
3 x Fisher Rd Hill sprints

rep) pace, HR_max
1k) 2:58.0, 161 Fast rolling start
2k) 3:03.5, 162 Fast rolling start
1k) 3:15.0, 162 Standing start
2k) 3:17.0, 160 Standing start
1k) 3:01.0, 159 Normal easy rolling start

A warm sun brought everybody out; traffic on the trail and the road. I like it better when the weather is crappy.

Rolling starts off TP Hill and the Boat Ramp lot hill led to fast splits on the first two. Faster than I expected though. But then the second two were slower than I expect, even with the standing start. I suppose dodging traffic could cost some time. The sun was setting on the last one so traffic was less. I put in hard effort and got a very good split.

Followed that with three good sprints up Fisher Rd. My technique was solid. They hurt.

Nice roll home. Nice evening.

Damp and foggy but still nice. Not to my cyclists but plenty of folks on feet.

FW Nordic Center with Pat. 4 loops. Wet and still misting meant slippery roads but we both stayed on our feet. We stopped by the house each lap for snacks and drinks. Finished still moving well. All my butts are tired though. All the butts need to relax.
