Made it to the RV with time to spare and was very pleased to see Aisha hiding in amongst the elite. Phew, thought it was just me and them for a bit. Karen turned up too and with spirits duely hightened we set off into the stinging sleet.
The towpath was still a little icy in places and very wet.
Session today was 1km strides, then 10 times 1 minute on and 30 seconds recovery, 5 out 5 back and no rest at half way.
Aisha dropped out after 4 and did a total of 8 reps, so technically that means I was not last.....
Anyway, held up ok through reps 1 to 5, struggled on 6 and 7, the elite came through at 8 and that spurred me on and rep 10 ended in a race with a sprint finish (where did that come from?). This is why reps in groups are always better than anything you can do with reps on your own.
Overall got very wet with the puddles and sleet was unpleasant, but the workout was good and I actually felt strong through the reps. Karen thinks we do them faster than her 5km pace (18mins) so that is fairly shifting. Happy with that.
