Stromlo XC Intervals on Christmas Day
A bit of a late start made it almost too hot for running. There was a stiff breeze to cool things off a bit and tipped water on the head when I was near a tap during the recovery. No runners on the track except me. A few mountain bikers and a couple of roadies on the criterium track. Two kids with new bikes.
The set as usual (even on Xmas day): 2000m 6:37, 1500m 4:57, 1200m 3:59, 800m 2:38, 400m 70. 19 seconds quicker than 5 days ago in the 2000m, all the other efforts quicker and getting very close to an all-time PB set. Amazing what a few 120km + weeks and some tough sessions can do for the form. I'm still 2kg above race weight. I won't even try to lose it until after New Year.
Next set on Saturday with Steve, maybe the Green Elf and others. It will be the same set as today again.
