I went to Wednesday night track practice early tonight. Reily had football at 1800. I did a 1 mile warm up, and then 5x1k @ 5k pace. I wanted to do each one at a 6:30-6:45 pace. The first three I kept in this range, although each one was slower, and the last 2, well, I was just happy to finish them. It was not a good night at the track.
After the track I went to the pool to do a max-ox interval set. A 400 warm up, then 6x 300 @ a 4:15 pace. 1min rest. I know I hadn’t been in the pool since Saturday, but can you forget how to swim in 3 days? I felt like a 4 year old swimming for the first time with out their water wings. My splits weren’t terrible, but not great. My form felt sloppy from the get go. I finished the set, and did a 500 pull, 200 cool down.
I guess you can’t feel you best everyday. You have to have a bad one every now and then, to appreciate the good ones.
