Odd numbered sprints were with breeze to back, even numbered were running into breeze.



I don't think #3 was that slow, but I don't think #7 was that fast so I guess it cancels things out. Fun WOD would like to do it again. Made me sore. 90 seconds was enough for the first six or seven for me but I could of had more on the last three or four. I am wondering if I could break 13 with blocks. Obviously, not as fast as I once was.

I am actually pretty happy with this WOD.  In June I did it with Andy and I was by myself this time so I did not have anyone to push me.  I also started a bit unmotivated but got into it after the first few were done.  It was cold, raining with thunder and lightning out side so I got out the wheel and measured off 328 feet (100m) and did this one in the school on a Sunday afternoon when I did not have to worry about running into anyone.  I did have to run at an angle a bit as I went through the double doors northeast of the councilors offices.  I had a tougher time making the turn heading west than east.  That is why most of the even numbers are a little faster.  I was 5 and 5 with beating my old times but I think that I would have had a better record if I was on the track with someone pushing me.  My fastest time was back in June, but I actually think I am a little faster now.  It would be fun to run a 100 out of blocks just to see what I can do.  I can remember wanting to puke on the last few back in June and this time I was stressed but not at the point of dying.  I felt better, stronger at the end this time.  Could be because I did not start as hard but I think I am just in better shape.  Heart rate was about 170 right after the 10th sprint. I have been doing more sprinting the last few months, perhaps it has payed off.

I also got out Granton's oxygen saturation and heart rate monitor Sunday and my resting heart rate is 43 in fact it actually bumped 42 once or twice.
