Emma was pushing the warm-up again, which I'm generally not a fan of, but today I didn't care because the was just 20 minutes. I really didn't expect this workout to be so hard; mentally it felt like the toughest thing I've done all year, including races. The 400s felt a bit harder physically than STACs. I'm not sure if it's just me or if some of the other girls felt this way too, because I was talking to Ingrid on our way home and she said it was fun and she liked the workout.
I think it was so hard mentally for me because I became panikey after the 1st hammer rep and normally I'm more relaxed during races and workouts. I was already on edge because Zoe went out so quickly for the 1st rep, but the 1st hammer rep really got to me because it was so much faster than what I'm used to. I forgot that we had to go straight into the tempo after the 400s and that also surprised me. I was going a lot slower than I usually do for tempos and in the last few minutes I thought I was about to cry, not because of the tempo, but because I was dreading the next 400s so much. Luckily we stopped for a few seconds to group up after the tempo and that was enough time for me to pull it together. The next 400s were hard, but I don't think they were as bad as the first 4. I was also slightly miffed about not getting a full minute of rest (usually 55 seconds) between the 400s which I guess helped distract me while we were standing around.
