Or dedicated and determined to not get wet would be a more accurate description

400m run

200m run
3:49-3:36*-4:29**____ *I more aggressively ran the last 200 as the rain came rushing in and I had to get my windows rolled up, so that threw off the stimulus because it wasn’t sustainable and rested longer for the rain to pass.
** well the rain came and the radar said not going away any time soon. So instead of going to the other gym with the air runner I used a calculator to determine the close amount of shuttle runs and went with 20 shuttle + 14 bfb + 10 shuttle – 26 would be more accurate and I was at the 2:30ish mark at 20 and thought fuck this. Also i didn’t not want to do shuttles like that again so i used more calculations. The rain sucked today because I really felt good on the first two rounds, my body felt good, my lean and pace felt good so I know the adjustments don’t really help in the progressions but at least some of the volume is consistent.

600m run
16 bar facing burpees

I measured out a safe 91 foot loop around the rig meaning 21 laps to get close to 600 meters – did try to alternate clockwise and counter clockwise to not put that many turns on my body.
*rest as needed/able*
I was actually waiting as long as i could and someone came into the gym during my rest and I talked to them for a bit, so this bought time for the monsoon to pass through which was kind of a catch 22, i cooled down quite a bit and really needed another warm up, but was afraid that if I did another warm up the rain would come again…..so I jumped in semi cold and went for this part. Tried to get as close to 500 as i could probably about 10 meters short but I don’t freaking care today.
