Pretty frustrated with this workout. Was way more consistent last time I did it. Looking at the last set I thought I was on pace but I was way off and slower than expected. 

Taking 3 days off last week to rest could've played a factor for sure. Also I look at the positive that I finished the workout and its another one in the bank. Hoping the legs will be back by next weeks race.

Thanks Steve. I really started enjoying these workouts. Goal is eventually get it to 5 flat or close for the entire workout. If you look at Riley's blog he destroyed it!
