February 28th, Relay Run (In The Back Parking Lot)

Today's fitness activity is some thing we haven't done in a long time: group relay run around the back parking lot (it used to be around the pond).

I made a team with Abhishek and Rajan, with Abhishek running first, Rajan second, and me last. Me and Abhishek ran at a good speed of about 1 min 15 to 20 s per lap consistently, but Rajan's fitness level isn't as high and ran more slowly and had periods of walking to catch his breath. We tried to encourage him to keep running, even if it's not very fast, and it seemed to help Rajan to keep pushing himself.

On the last lap I was running, I gave it my best because it was going to be the last lap before we all went in. In the last 15 to 20 seconds of the lap my lungs and legs started burning, but I pushed myself and managed to finish with a good speed and almost ran the lap in 1 minute.

I used my phone to record my lap times. I've accidentally press the "lap" button 2 extra times, so ignore the two laps with less than 1 second. Every other lap time is about 5 to 10 s off from my actual running time, because I had to stop after finishing a lap and then stop the stopwatch.
