Damn, today was another unintended personal best! Today didn't feel like it was going to be fast. Today started later than usual. Prep for today included drinking a Young's Oatmeal Stout the night prior. I don't think I'll repeat the stout (I'm a wheat beer kind of guy - as in Hoegaarden and its ilk). Today's start was "just slightly uncomfortable." When that pace netted me my first split, I decided to turn on the jets. Today marks an accurate description of what I think it might feel like to go at race pace. I would definitely consider this a time trial for training purposes.

While Young's is tasty, Sam Smith's Oatmeal is vastly better... also, if you were to want to drink a drinkable stout, you would want to throw some Mackeson's down your piehole...
ReplyDeleteI should clarify. The Young's Oatmeal Stout was free. I will always drink free stout...even if it's stout...
ReplyDeleteLifestyle lately has been making me think more about the two vices I've largely given up...but the synergistic effects of alcohol and nicotine are probably not worth the extra work I have to do later on the road.
