This was a new, challenging & motivating track session! It was good to get back on the track again instead of the treadmill, even though a couple of the curves were water logged & muddy & became worse each time I ran those sections. Only the last repetition was really tough!
The Magic Racers (trainers) had to be hosed down with a jet stream of water when I got home...I preferred a hot shower!
In about 6 weeks time, I get to repeat this session...with what results? Who knows? I don't, but I'll bet Ewen does!
lol - I was rubbing at my screen thinking it was a speck of dirt :-)
