Did I know what it really was? No.
Did I know the right people to ask? Heck ya.
I mentioned Jason yesterday [tri-guy + awesome cook].
Now there's Jeff. Yep, IRONMAN Jeff.
a-FREAKING-mazing.
So they helped me sort out the details.
I understood.
Bike THEN run.
but that wasn't going to work with today's schedule sooooooo.......
The "reverse brick" was born.
So I jumped on the treadmill for 9 miles at a 7:30 pace.
literally, threw on dry clothes . . . . Nascar'd my way down Shea Boulevard . . . . parked at the gym . . . . set up my bike . . . .
. . . . and waited all 3.44 minutes for class to start.
[omgosh there's a foot in this photo?!....gross . . .you bet cha I'm using the . . . RUN EMZ towels from 24 hour TM run!]
Yep. same. freaking. awesome. spin. instructor. from Tuesday. night.
Yep. . . . she got in my sweaty
totalandcompleteawesomeness [that's for you Dawn].
So as soon as we "finish" the one hour class. I put my bike up and race up the stairs for a bit. Figured I could get one mile in before I needed to be showered and presentable.
HOLY.
f r e a k i n g .
Noodle.
Legs.
So lesson learned.
Took me almost 1/2 mile to "find" my legs. Did one mile at 9:30 pace.
Brick and reverse Emz-style brick do NOT equal the same thing.
but the best freaking workout I've had in a Loooooooooooooong time.
Nothing but MAD respect for you triathletes out there.
you. guys. rock.
Do you brick?
Do you bonk?
Do you noodle?
