Track Session

Another cool day, light rain & mist all around. Program was 3x400m aiming for 2:04 each lap; 10 minutes between each....thinking Ewen had made a mistake - that sounded so easy, surely he meant 3 Sets of 3x400m!! Just as well I got him to spell it out as if to an idiot child, because 3x400m turned out to be just about the hardest session in a long while!

20 minutes warm-up, including 4x100m strides - done!

10 minutes walking & stretching - done!

Lap 1 - set off too fast for current fitness (& age!!) & tottered on wobbly legs to the end in 2:05.5

10 minutes rest - done! And I'd wondered if I'd need it!!

Lap 2 - finished sounding like Sharapova on the tennis court! 2:10.9

10 minutes rest - took & needed 15!

Lap 3 - just made it! Shoes had collected so much wet grass, they looked more like snowshoes! 2:10.5

Warm-down - Not done! But I was! Grabbed my bag, hurried to the car, tore off soaked shoes & socks & drove home!

Another lesson learned but not too sure what it is yet! Report Card should clear that up!







Report card for a very interesting and entertaining track session:

1) Carpentry - 90% - CB built a beautiful coffee table out of two planks of wood.
2) Mathematics - 92% - CB is improving but it didn't quite add up.
3) Science - 83% - CB should have started a tad slower. 62 for the first 200 would have been better.
4) English - 70% - CB used some fruity language which was rather unladylike.
5) Phys Ed - 85% - A good workout but not perfect. Can improve.
6) Biology - 90% - CB learned a valuable lesson in how lactic acid is made.
7) Art - 65% - CB's cubist style is very strange. She neglected to clean up after painting.
