10 x hill repeats on FC up from the front pool to Providence in 75 to 80 sec each. The easy parts, warm-up recovery btwn and cool down, weren't particularly quick. But oddly, the hills weren't particularly hard. The effort level today didn't feel like an all out attack as it usually does on this WO. I didn't feel like I was pressing too much on the top 1/3 of the hill. Nevertheless, the times were about the same as they usually are. Had considered switching the tempo run scheduled for Thursday to today since the weather is supposed to be bitterly cold and blustery winds on that day. Ultimately decided that since I didn't feel great yesterday that I might need more recovery so I opted for the 'easier' WO that was planned. Felt pretty good today, so I think it was the right decision.
