The team met for practice at 6 am this morning, and surprisingly almost everyone showed up. It was still dark out for about the first half of the workout and rain was blowing down in sheets from the black skies. As we warmed up on the bluff I could barely see Jon directly in front of me. The wind was coming into our faces off the lake as we jogged down the steps. As we were climbing back up the stairs for the second or third time I noticed a dark shape dash past in the opposite direction, and then heard the voice of Russ shouting "Yeah Baby!" This morning may have confirmed our suspicions that the man is actually insane. Luckily nobody tripped and got hurt on the slippery steps.
Following the bluff we went out south on the road for fartleks. This was the first time I've run that direction since the construction started 3 weeks ago. Flying through puddles and mud on the side of the road, dodging dump trucks and caution signs, we managed to grind out several miles and returned to campus just as the skies were lighting up. After finishing the fartleks on campus I took a bathroom break with Danny flying wingman, then headed over to do two more bluff hills. These were fairly brutal but it always feels good to punish the legs over there. A short cool down wrapped up the day for a total of about 8 or 9 miles. It was definitely a practice to go down in the record books.
