What the hell was I thinking..... oh yeah.... I wasn't.



Long day at work with lots of energy and my attempt to control it and harness its inherent goodness took a lot out of me.   One student filled with all the joy and excitement that comes with nice weather takes some serious effort, let alone classes of 50 with noisemakers all pointed at my head.  Then again, I would not have it any other way.

Exhausted, I came home and did not stop.  i knew that if I sat... there I would be.  So into the tri-shorts and a "T" on off to do coach Pat's bidding.

And really, that's where should have stayed.  But no, I was on the path to self-destruction.  I ignored what was asked of me and I did more.... why.... I have no freakin' idea.  I just looked at the post and went with it.

"run 3x1mile Tempo. 1st and last 200m at above pace. Ensure you get a good warm up and cool down."

How hard can it be to follow that?  But there I was... an easy warm up and then ... why I decided to give'r' I'lll never know...... but I did.  And, as you will see by my data, I payed for it.

Data, you say?  Yes, I realized that my Garmin was not dead.. it is dying.  SO, it may not be any good for 3 hour rides, but I will do 40 and 1 hour bikes and the like.

Here's how the ugliness turned out.

Click on  "View Details" and I have it all in the splits.  I was at home for 1/2 an hour before I stopped sweating.

What the hell was I thinking.....  oh yeah.... I wasn't.
