4 x 500m

Date: Thu, Nov 24 (6:30pm)
Conditions: Cool and slight breeze
Location: McKay Oval
Session: 4 x 500m (2) 89, 87, 90, 91
Sleep: 7 hours, a little scratchy.
Feeling: Tired, with a little stiffness in the legs that was much improved after a lunch time session at the gym

Running a bit late thanks to a jammed solid Oxford St, and got through an abbreviated warm up.

Was hoping to slip under 90 seconds for all four reps. Got through the first in 89 seconds pretty comfortably. Pushed a little harder through the second for an 87, stung a bit but thought I'd be okay. On the third rep, legs started to sting at about 150 to go and I couldn't really raise a finishing sprint for 90, and same again on the last for 91.

Still, at least had a go, but it would have been nice to be at or under last week's times. I was right in the ballpark, though, so I guess it's a consolidation.

Was thinking of doing the CR 5k challenge on Saturday morning, but the prospect of bashing myself up in flats on concrete isn't overly appealing. Might do the hard 6k hitout with the squad instead.
