SPEEDWORK:
This week’s speed workout is going to be simple, but hard.  Let’s shoot for 1 mile repeats, starting the Boat House to a little bit past the Engineer’s Gate.  That’s includes the Cat Hill, the weird Hill at the Obelisk, and a nice flat bit on the East Drive.  Recover easy back to Boat House.  Since Agonites are tuff bunch, we recommend at least 4 of these repeats – total of 8 miles.
