Bonk!

I know you can't really 'bonk' on short distances, but that is exactly what happened to me at tonight's workout. We were doing a 5000m time trial, another of the delicious workouts that Mac serves us. Now, the group always goes over pacing and estimated times with Mac beforehand, and I start the time trial aiming for 55 seconds per 200m. I manage to pull it off the first 800, but then I start to feel heavy. Whoa...I'm breathing way harder than I think I should be.

To keep this entry short...I BONK! Hard! The best thing that I can say is that I did not quit. It was hot, humid, and breezy, and I could easily have started walking and pitching a fit about how slow I was. I am not a quitter!
