Time Trial #2

Tonight was time trial number 2. The first one was 6 weeks ago and I managed to finish the mile in 11:24.

Tonight, since the temperature is MUCH higher than it was 6 weeks ago, I was just hoping to stay even, and I'd even allow myself no guilt if it pushed up to 12 minutes.

I finished in 10:17! That was my fastest mile ever! Never mind the fact that there is NO WAY I could sustain that pace for longer than a mile. Never mind that I could barely breathe when I finished. Never mind that I was completely anaerobic.

The point is, I did a 10:17 mile in 92 degree heat, with 3 nasty hills. Imagine what I can do on a flat surface in 55 degrees! I could probably do close to the same without all the heavy breathing. Maybe. We'll see.

Cheers!
