You Did What????

First, I have to tell you this funny story. It is one of those things where you probably "had to" be there, but I'll try to tell it anyways...

Sunday I was dragging a$$ from a long day at the wrestling tournament the day before. Not to mention I don't sleep well, because McRib snorts {yes, I said snort, not snore} while he sleeps, so half the night I'm up and then I'm off to sleep on the couch, which does not make for good sleeping either. So, I have a full day planned which does not leave room for sloughing unless I would just totally skip something.
  • Cut McRib's hair {had to be done, the hair was getting quite scary}
  • 90 min run {part of my 1/2 marathon training}
  • Shower {get ride of the run-smell before I go spin}
  • Buy John shoes {because the broken record won't stop until I do}
  • Meet my friends and spin for 2 hours at the Y {part of my Triple Bypass Training}
  • Shower {for our SuperBowl party}
  • Take John to a SB party and pick up Jake's friend {thank goodness McRib did this for me}
  • Drive back to town for the party {!!!!!}
OK, so I think I had 2 cups of coffee and one little nibblet of monkey bread before I took off for my run. Run was great. Smooth sailing for the first 5 miles. Harley, my running partner, brought out every dog along the way which did get annoying cause I had to backtrack to get him OFF the dog, but we made it. At mile 5 I took my energy pack and headed back. Gah! it's a little windy. This is good for the training right? To run in all conditions? Well, I think I ended up with a faster pace headed back. This is a good thing. McRib picked me up, I power showered and we were off to town to spin. On the way I ate a granola bar cause by now I'm starving and my tummy is screaming: "feed me! feed me!". That granola bar, just didn't do the trick.

We power shopped, got shoes {this is story in and of itself, but I'm not going to even go there, if you have kids, you can probably guess where I'm not headed}. Now my a$$ is dragging even farther behind me and I'm extremely famished. I really didn't want to eat fast food right before getting on the bike or even on the bike {gah!}, so I opted for some of the snacks I packed for the group. I ate a snack pack of Nutter Butters and then a pack of fruit snacks. OMG! I hate snacks, I need some real food! Biscuits and gravy with hashbrowns, big juicy hamburger, pasta...something other than snacks, YUK!

So what do I do next, I yank down my sweats....and no bike shorts on. AHHH!! Yep. Thank goodness I had underwear on {boy cut, not a thong}. My fast-twitch muscles, which I don't really have, kicked in as soon as my non-fueled, tired brain realized what just happened. I turned 20 shades of red as there was only one other girl in the room and 5 guys. I continued to move quickly and swiftly producing a pair of bike shorts from my gym bag and off I went to change. That produced another level of exhaustin.

It's 1:30 by the time I get on the bike and I know I'll be lucky to make one hour. No decent fuel, embarrassing moment and 9.5 miles under my belt; I'm basically done before I get started. I spun in a very low gear (3) and called it a recovery ride. All I could think about was the ribs I was going to eat when I got home!!! {And I only rode one hour.}

Today's workout: 8 x hills, 60 min spin. {I'll be lucky to get it done. I'm still dragging hiney!} Have a great Tuesday.

That's rich! I'd have probably been commando that day and wondered where the draft was coming from, ha.

Lesson learned: no fuel = brain stops functioning = utter embarassment

D.mn!
That's one serious work-out with not nearly enough food.
Did you have a good meal to replenish your reserves?

Great workout

Let me just say that I have always been TERRIFIED of this happening. Now I will be even moreso, since I know that it actually can! :)

The "free show" is priceless. Did you get a round of applause at least?

Unknown said...

Yikes! How embarrassing. Guess you just gotta roll with it when something like that happens.

Kelly said...

Oh man... you flashed the whole group. Eeek. Take a breath, get some food, and some sleep!

Unknown said...

Great story. I bet it has happened to many of us.

Hilarious! Oh my gosh, I would've died, though. :) I'm glad you chose the right pair of underwear that day. ;)
