twenty-one for a forty-something

Funny number, that twenty-one.
At Mohegan Sun, that takes the money.
As a salute, it honors the brave who have passed
It marks the start of your life when you may legally consume alcohol ~ and incidentally when consuming alcohol becomes a great deal less fun and exciting.
Two of my hometown teams have retired that number. (brownie points if you know the person other than Roberto Clemente).
Today, it marked a milestone.
The “n=1 study” continues unabated – one long distance endurance event each week, plus 3-4 (and occasionally 5) half-hour long runs indoors each week involving ATP-CP based training bursts.
These burst, lasting 25-30 seconds began with 15 and utilized a 3:1 recovery to work ratio. Since early January, a gradual build of burst repetitions began and then a slow reduction in the recovery time frame.
Today was the first training session with 21 bursts of 25 or more seconds with only a 1:1 recovery (25 on, 25 off).
But, this hurt a great deal less than originally thought. I was at my lovely desk 31 minutes after it started.
That NSCA Performance course last June might have been just the ticket.
