HTT #7

Boca at 5:30pm. The schedule looked like this:
25' T.T.
25' Strength circuit/Stretch cords
25' T.T.
20' Run

What actually happened:

25' T.T.
Lots of one-leg drills and various intensity 1-2 minute intervals.

25' circuit
Mostly core and leg work. Crunches: normal, legs-up, lats crunches, etc.
Also did a number of variations on squats (normal, one-legged, hold) and lunges (ouch). Did backwards-step lunges which is much easier on the knees.

25' T.T.
2x12' intervals at hardest intensity you can hold. I did ok on the first one, but I laid it all out on the second. I kept seeing the guy in front of me and thinking if I didn't get a move on, he was going to slaughter me come race day. Closing my eyes and picturing T from last season riding just in front of me and me trying to pass him helped too. I just kept imagining me creeping up ever closer behind him, it's surprisingly motivating.

20' Run
This was called 2x10' with the first 10' hard and the second 10' harder. We ran up and down the road in front of the medical school which is roughly one mile long. Did somewhere over 2 miles. Was exhausted but 10 minutes later I felt like I had done nothing at all. Cool.
