Saturday - 10 x 2’ (off 90”)

A great turnout today for a real proper speed session. I met Erika, Ben, Emma and Sam outside Manly LSC warmed up and ready to go. We were confronted with a very strong northerly wind, ensuring that the odd reps were going to be hell! And so they were. At least the generous rest between reps was nice enough for the first half of the session (the 90 seconds seemed too short after that). The distances reflected the wind with 580 m, 630 m, 570 m, 640 m, 580 m, 650 m, 570 m, 620 m, 560 m and 630 m. That was really really really tough - much harder than I can remember! All out speed is my absolute Achilles heel these days, so this session will no doubt have done me a world of good. Ben was very strong, especially with the reps into the wind in the second half of the session. A nice and easy 6 km cool-down along the beachfront for 17 km all up.
