After yesterday's bike climb and night on the boat, I started another workout cycle with some volume tempo. Perfect evening to workout at the SAS track. 68º and cloudy at sunset, but there was a head wind blowing up the home stretch. Same workout I did on May 1. More recently, I did a 6 x 200m and I got confused about the goal time for these 300s. I thought my average should be 48.5, but I was thinking about the 200s which were avg 28.5. I set my Gymboss too slow (48 pace - 16sec/100m) and since it seemed too easy, I thought I was doing a major 'one up' of myself. But actually, it was a little slower and easier than the May 1st workout. Today, I averaged 46.59, May 1st I averaged 46.25. I should have set the Gymboss for 15sec/100m. It definitely seemed too easy. I was definitely not as tired as the previous set, and if I hadn't pushed the last one to 46, I probably could have done a 6th.

stretches, drills, 2 x 100m
5 x 300m w/ 6 min rest - 45.62, 46.82, 47.01, 47.31, 46.20 (46.59 avg)
The same workout on May 1 left me pretty beaten, but this one, not bad. Was able to make my last one, my 2nd fastest. Although slower by 0.34 avg, my times were a little more consistent. The May 1st workout, my last rep was 48.16 and I was whipped. Still, right about where it should be, about 86.5% race pace, based on a 41 sec 300m, which is the prescribed speed/effort level for the 'lactate stacking' chart that I was looking at. So, got it done and feel pretty good.
