A Track Full of Mud!

What a quagmire the track at Chev was this morning after days of rain!  I thought it was probably a waste of time when I saw the state of the track but having driven there, I decided to give it a go.  It felt dreadful having to plough through water and mud splashed right up to my knees, so I was surprised when I looked at the results on Garmin Connect to see that I was pretty close to the set paces.

Program:
10-20 min warm-up
2 x 1200m @ 6:10m/k (7:25)
200m RI 
4 x 800m @ 6:00m/k (4:53)
10 min cool-down


1.2k warm-up + few drills & strides
2x1200
1.  7:33 (6:16m/k)
2.  7:30 (6:12m/k)  (400m RI between)


4x800m
1.  4:54 (6:12m/k);
2. 4:53 (6:10m/k);  
3. 4:53 (6:10m/k)
4. 4:53 (6:10m/k)  (400m RI between.)

No cool down or stretching, the rain had returned.  I was glad to get home and into a shower to wash off all the mud that I'd accumulated from the water-logged track.
