Swimming 40:00 [3]
Swimming in the wave pool. Worked on bobbing, ditching, etc. some more.
4 PM
Running 5:06 [1] 0.55 mi (9:16 / mi)
shoes: Montrail Masochist
Jog up to Jewish Chapel
Running 37:12 [5] 2.25 mi (16:32 / mi)
shoes: Montrail Masochist
"Woods" Intervals.
Ran from the water tower at Delafield to the one at Fort Putnam 6 times and then back down, wait 30 seconds and go again. Absolute smoker however I don't think it accomplished the intent of woods training. Sure it was a hill worker that burned the legs and lungs but we were essentially running up a trail (and if it wasn't one when we started it is now) and it's pretty easy to do micro route selection when you're walking as everybody not named Schroeder, McCormick or Bangert had to do.
To conclude, there's no need to combine the two workouts. If we do hills we might as well do them on pavement so we can focus on the fitness piece and if we do woods we should conduct them in an area with negligible climb in order to focus on technical aspects. You can only sprint up the hill and over the rocks so fast...
