Felt strong at the start. 5th, 6th and 7th were very hard with breathing difficulties. After considering stopping at 8 I went for 10.
In the last I crashed into a man't back (he hesitated going right and suddenly left) and came to a halt. Sub 30 in those conditions is a very good sign

26mins warm up that included 4 strides.
19mins cool down.
Done with Al and Fil - I pulled them all as I was doing 200m and they did 300m. Only in last Fil passed me.
Recovery was from the time I finished to their finish+1min.
See 21.10.2010

Recovery avg: 81.0
I have understood one thing. After years of no proper speedwork I fear speed!!!! 
I decided, after the second one, to just go for it!
The results are to be seen when compared to the October session.
I must risk more!!!
