Faster than January.

I have it in my head that I am slower than I was at the start of the year. Back then I felt more intensity during workouts and just felt faster.
So today, our first wod was the 1 mile run for time. I really wanted to skip it. I had plenty of excuses. Long run over the weekend, marathon training, etc.
But the reality was that I put down a really good time for me back in January and I didn't want to confirm my suspicion that I was getting slower.
At the starting line I told myself that I would just run a solid mile and not worry about my time. Then coach said "go" and of course it became a race.
The exact time isn't important because the course isnt a mile. My guess is it is .8 mi. What does matter is that November 2011 me is faster than January me by 17 seconds.
Guess I might not be coming apart after all.
Wod 2 was 12 min Amrap of 5 sumo DL @225, 10 jump squats, 15 kettlebell swings at 32kg and a 200m run. 3 Rnds, 11 reps. Swim at lunch.
Swim from the Crossfit endurance website was 5x200 on the 3:30. Since it takes me 4:00 to swim 200m, I went with 5x200m on the 5min. With a goal of identical times.
Warm up was 400m of fist drill and ti drills. Cool was 4x50 for 1600m total.
Times were 4:05, 06, 04, 03, and 3:59.
Could have been a hair tighter on rnd 2. Also could have shot for a pr on rnd 5. My current pr for 200m is 3:57.
I'm thinking I need to see the doc. I get lightheaded when I stand up, do heavy deadlifts or go on long runs or rides.
We shall see. I am going to find a way to check my blood pressure could be low.
