Notes
Almost backed out of the workout as I was stretching and doing light drills because of how annoying the wind was and the fact that I couldn't get out of my own head but told myself to just sack up and do it. Decided to do a similar tempo to what Root and I did last June and went for 12 minutes at 80 second quarter pace. Knew it would be different without switching leads with anyone and dealing with the wind solo but I started out in a 78 and the pace didn't hurt so I just focused on taking it one lap at a time. This, in my opinion, is probably my perfect tempo pace because I felt smooth despite the gusts but got that burn near the end which felt good. Went through the mile in 5:16 and then went through the 2 mile in 10:27 (5:11). If I had held 80's I would have finished right at 9 laps but since I was a tad quick I just went to the next 100 meter mark and ended up being roughly at 12 minutes. Good first part to the workout
