Notes
Michigan today. Diemer told us to give, at max, a B+ effort, so it was meant to be fairly controlled. We ran it in trainers. There was some crazy wind today though. Gusts up to 50 mph on the back curve. We would start with the wind on the tempo but finish into it. The wind made for an interesting day. Anyways our group got pretty split up over the course of this workout based on who was feeling good. I led the whole first mile and the first tempo felt fairly relaxed. Rylaarsdam made a bit of a move on the 1200 and I was the only one who covered it. That was not the right move in hindsight as my legs felt like lead after that. I tired building the 2nd tempo more, but just got destroyed by the wind. Came back to finish a bit stronger on the 800. I didn't feel dead afterwards, but it was still a hard workout. Probably should have been able to stay with the group, but I can only judge the effort today because of the conditions. Also this was my 2nd Michigan in 2.5 weeks and we generally only run 1 a season because of the intensity and volume of the workout.
