Since it was raining hard, there was no work capacity stuff, making today’s workout much easier than usual.

This was the last training session of a 3 month macro cycle with Scott’s coaching as Derek starts his rugby season. Until Scott or I can find another training partner, I will be training solo again albeit with a training template Scott will put together for me. One thing I will change is a later start on Saturday morning!
