Notes
Tempo: started out slow but then just like Monday we suddenly started picking it up really fast. Actually felt pretty good and ended up running strong on the tempo. Johnny and Perez pulled away the last 800 or so and I ended up being just a step or 2 behind Root and Kerley. I didn't die on the parts where I normally do so I was really pleased with that.
Hills: Definently the hardest part of today's workout and the worst for me. Just didn't feel that strong on the hills today and I felt like I was almost walking by the time I got to the top. Quads were heavy which made me shuffle and that ended up slowing me down more than anything. Still toughed it out and did all 6 though!
Fartlek: Pretty good for the most part! Definently faster recovery than last year but overall we were hauling. Made a couple moves to try and keep connection to Kerley, Nick, Johnny, and Perez but after the 2nd one I just said forget it and we formed a group right behind them. Tied up a little on the very last one but Yonny caught up to me and we finished it off really strong. So overall, not a bad first day out on Blackwell! Just gotta lift the knees more
