Notes

I aborted the Time Trial. Reasons/excuses: I wasn't feeling recovered, I had too much to eat and drink last night, it was windy, I would have had to sneak onto the track again. Basically, once I had doubts, it was easy to find other reasons.

Instead, random fartlek without pushing too hard. I started with a 3mile tempo on gravel without breaking 6min for any mile. But it did feel easy other than the uphill or my initial push into the wind @ mile 2. Next was the main goal of getting my KOM back from Kyle. I beat his time by a good amount but it was quite difficult. I'm hoping I don't need to defend it again. Though I'm sure I could squeeze a few more seconds out of me.

Then another mile of tempo before hitting another hill hard, though at some point I hit stop on my watch instead of lap so I missed a half mile maybe. Finished with 1 more mile of tempo and 2 sprints.

Takeaway: I'm focusing on the 15k I have lined up in 2 weeks instead of doing a difficult track time trial.
