2nd 3.5M ... 35:39 ... 10:11 pace
Hurting from about 2 miles on as getting acclimated to humidity and warmth...it was 76% humidity but not what I would call hot by a long shot. Had to take it almost one step at a time...lots of mind games to try to stay on pace and not blow up...I did make it...although with 1/3 of a mile to go I had to stop 10 seconds as my stomach started to knot up and cause me to choke...it went away and when I finished no gagging.
50 min warm up...standing leg drills, arm and leg bands, 17 PU, foam roller and floor leg lifts, reduced floor core and lite stretching.
Afternoon: 15+ min of finishing floor core including 55 SU, additional lite stretching and knee and core/hip stabilization drills. Feeling heat/humidity stressed with near headache right now.
