CrossFit Day 68
Today’s workout was the return of the 5 km run. Officially, we had a choice between running 5 km and doing the same distance on a rowing machine. There’s a track near my house. Guess which one I chose.
Since the inside lanes of the track were flooded with the recent rains, my laps ended up being about 430 meters, which makes the 13 laps I ran tonight total 5.59 km (3.47 mi). I tried to hold steady at a 2:15 lap, knowing I’d slow down. Initially, I felt sluggish enough during dinner that I thought I should aim at a 30:00 time. Like last time, I beat 30 minutes with a significant amount of wiggle room.
While it was really cold outside, I ignored the cold, finessed the volume up on my iPod Shuffle, and made sure my ears were covered. A man and his snarling mutt shared my track, but fortunately he kept control of the animal. Once I got into my rhythm, there was no stopping me.
My results: 3.47 mi (5.59 km) in 28:23 (0:22 faster than last time)
More stats: 3:27 zone (hard); HR: 178 avg, 192 max; 463 cal
Split average 2:11. Fastest: 1:57 (last). Slowest: 2:17 (sixth)
