CrossFit Day 87

Today’s workout was a 10 km run. I have done this workout twice before, on October 16 and October 19. Today, I’m exactly 20 pounds lighter than the last time I ran this 10 km distance, so I was hopeful for a big improvement in performance.

Due to the incessant barrage of rainstorms lately, the local track was mostly flooded, but was dry enough that I could still do the run. I had to sweep far to the outside on the lower side of the track, so each lap ended up being about 435 meters each. And, since I’m out here, I might as well not just run 25 laps. I decided to do the whole alphabet. 26 laps @ 435 meters each puts my distance today at 7 miles.

It was fairly chilly outside, but once I got moving, I warmed up fast. My GPS unit died (replace those damn batteries) about a third of the way through, but I had my beats and I had my stopwatch. What more do I need?

The numbers:

  • Distance: 7.02 mi (5.26 km) [PR]
  • Time (total): 1:03:45.36 [PR]
  • 10 km mark: 56:42.57 (lap 23) [PR]
  • Fast lap: 02:13.06 (26)
  • Slow lap: 02:36.88 (17)
  • Average: 02:27.12

My HRM: 1:03:59, 2:16 zone (hard); HR: 183 avg, 197 max; 1065 cal
