Some people argue that the Wally Sprint is the best workout in F3 NOLA. YHC was hoping not to tarnish it’s reputation by taking the Q this morning. As I headed out the door I was greeted with a lightning strike and thuderclap. What?!? Is it supposed to rain? Quick check of the phone and yep. I put my bike back up, grabbed the truck keys and modified my plan on the 2 minute drive to Pontiff.
Was pleasantly surprised to see 4 hearty souls waiting for me in the gloom. We proceeded to do a little CCC training
– 1 mile warm-up jog around the park
– 4 accelerations
– 0.75 miles at 10K race pace.
– .25 mile recovery jog
– 0.75 miles at 5k race pace.
– 0.25 recovery jog
– 0.75 miles at 1 mile race pace.
– 0.25 recovery jog
– Cool down jog to close it out.
In the end YHC logged 4.8 miles. We all agreed that the final 0.75 miles at our mile pace was difficult to say the least. The entire workout was in the rain, but it never go that bad. As Big Willy said, at least it wasn’t 15 degrees colder.
We went over announcements, Frac saved MacGyver, and I prayed us out to close.
