Did eight 1/2 mile-ish intervals as I might race on Sunday. I'm slow, but recovery and pain tolerance are decent -- 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Had a spooky experience on the way back to the start after
#6 ; I noticed a giant tree limb had fallen onto the road -- I probably generated a sonic boom. With a motorist who was blocked, I hauled it off to the side of the road, which felt like an interval unto itself, and then did
#7 and
#8 . I tried to upload an image, but the process failed. You've all seen plenty of tree limbs I'm sure. I'm glad that the limb fell after I passed through -- what-if stuff ran through my mind for a bit.
