yesterday I bused to work after walking Hodge...

attended my first speedygeese session since March last year...

attendees (9): Janene, Jen, Julia, Lou, Miranda (early & warm up), speedygeoff, Susan, Thea (early only) and me...

warm up: 2.28 (standard lap + stop for any latecomers + standard lap)

5 x 2 laps in lane 4 with jog recovery on 7mins (handicapped, I started on 50secs with Susan, probably should have started on 30secs!)...after the first two efforts with jog recovery I had about 5secs to spare before starting the next, on the next two I managed to time it perfectly with no seconds to spare, on the last one I was a couple of seconds late!

rough times for each effort:
4:08, 4:21, 4:28, 4:29, 4:38

warm down (after Frisbee): 1.1k (reverse standard lap)

total 9.98k in 75:54...starting temp/humidity: 16.7/75% (apparent temp same)...avg HR: 136...

the rain held off until we had just about finished...my heels/ankles were sore after...

this morning I rode to work after walking Hodge, this time into a slight headwind...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 13.9/97% (apparent temp 13.8)
