Luke - 5.5

5.5mi, 39:24 (7:09)
22' w/u, 3400m@12:30, 4' c/d.
Went to the track to do yesterday's workout, a 3k TT at 3/4 effort. The weather was weird, clear and cold and windy. My leg felt better, but when I did strides I didn't feel like I had any pop. The wind was the direction that made the backstretch difficult; it was ~20mph for the first half of the TT and ~30mph for the second half. <excuses>It was windy, my hands were cold, my right foot was numb, and I had to pee.</excuses> When I started, I decided to take splits every 200m, but about 500m in I realized I didn't know when I'd started, and I wasn't really thinking clearly enough to subtract my lap+ from my overall time to figure it out, so I was thinking I'd started at like 24:30 so I figured I'd be finishing a bit over 35 minutes. I finished at 35½ minutes and realized when I got home that I'd started at 23 minutes, so I had run an extra lap. Anyway, splits (keep in mind that every other split was into the wind): 38, 46, 44, 44, 44, 45, 43, 43, 42, 45, 42, 45, 44, 47, 43, 45, 44.
Don't know how I feel about this workout. We'll see how things go when conditions are more normal.
