Post times to comments.

1600 Time=6:34 Goal=6:40
1200 Time=4:43 Goal=4:45
800 Time=2:59 Goal=3:00
400 Time=1:29 Goal=1:15


I messed up with my goals a little. I figured up my lap time for each distance to make my goal. I probably should have made my 1600 goal 6:36(1:39 laps) the 1200 goal 4:42(1:34 laps) and the 800 goal 2:58 (1:29 laps) but I didn't know what I could do. Actually, the first three runs did not hurt that bad. The last one did. I didn't take into account the shorter rest time after each race. I had my lap time drop by five seconds for each race that got shorter and I thought I would just gut out the last race and blast it as it is only one lap. Not the case I was sucking air pretty hard when I started and knew a 1:15 was out of the question. If I had a more realistic goal like 1:25, which went with my standard lap time drop of five seconds I think I could have done it. But it looked so helpless at the start I lost focus and fell apart.

Jenni did this one too:

1600=7:40
1200=5:44
800=3:50
400=1:36
