As of yesterday, we’re in the penitential season, Lent. A lot of people must have been in the penitentiary, either that or they gave up track for Lent, since turnout was light.
Judd Michael, Lance Bland, John Domico, Marty Klanchar, John Wilcock, Rob Peterson, Jeff Welsh, Mike Renz, Mike Martin, Dana Todd, David Lloyd, and Marty Mazur got to the Multi-Sport Facility despite the frigid winds.
Despite the name of the season, Bwana did not want the workout to be, as the Italians say, lento. He went with a suggestion from Marty Klanchar: 6X400, but with shorter rests than Marty did his own earlier workout. Only 1 lap plus the short trip to the stagger mark for 400m in lane 5. That’s about 260 meters, not a really long rest, but not a super short one. The trick is to find a good hard pace than you can keep doing 6 times with that much rest. I suggest a mile race pace.
After some meditative prayer, and maybe some fasting, I’m sure that the Crew will be ready ready for the kind of mortification of the flesh that Bwana will be dolling out next week. Until then…
