We were scheduled to run 5x800m repeats. The morning rain changed that and we had to call an audible. We hemmed and hawed on picking an alternate and started with 10 minutes of double unders. I was headed for stardum at >600 when my rope broke at about 400. I got a different rope, but it wasn't the same. I started to stall out and only got to 525. I was so close, but next time I'll get there for sure. I did start with 130 unbroken.
Then the rain stopped and we decided to do the runs anyway.
My times were: 2:49,2:54, 2:54, 2:57, 2:54
We had a brutal head wind for 1/2 of it, so my times could be a bit faster next time. I guess having so many of my runs at the same time and very close means I paced it well. I am still working on turning on the speed at the end and sprinting a bit more and the end. Having others to race against helped too. I always had someone to chase and someone coming up behind me. I wasn't too tired at the end. I really think my work capacity is improving a ton. I just need to use more of it during the wod.
