CrossFit Day 70

Today’s workout was the 5 km run again. It was fairly cold (about 42° F) and it started to drizzle as I made my way to the track. I considered substituting ten miles on the bike trainer, but I decided that a little drizzle couldn’t stop me. My legs were still sore from yesterday. Ah, well. Sometimes, you just have to man up and go for it.

Now that I’ve practiced split timing on my new stop watch, I can get fairly accurate with my numbers without spending half a lap attempting to key in the time on my cell phone. The increasing drizzle didn’t change into a deluge and I was able to get a good rhythm going. Given the soreness in my legs from 250 squats the other day, I just wanted to post a decent time to my log book. Yet again, for the third 5 km distance, I improved my personal best yet again. I sprinted the last lap, hoping to finish strong. I missed that 28 minute mark by only 2 seconds.

My results: 3.35 mi (5.39 km) in 28:02 (0:21 faster than last time)
More stats: 6:04 zone (hard); HR: 175 avg, 194 max; 441 cal

Split average 2:09.38. Fastest: 1:56.60 (last). Slowest: 2:17.08 (tenth)

[…] Last time, I was able to finish this distance in a drizzle in 28:02, so I decided to set my goal at 28:00 even. I’m getting better and better at running, with more and more endurance, so I was sure that if I kept my focus and tied my shoes right, I could break 28 minutes. […]
