AMRAP in 3:00
Assault Bike calories

DNF, but did 2 pretty spectacular 0:60 sprints at 97%. Went out WAY WAY WAY too hot on the first one (>80 RPMs) and panicked at the 0:60 mark (23 calories in). Rested about 10:00 then did the same damn thing, 78-80 RPMs for almost a minute, trĂ­ed to back down to 70ish (my intended goal pace) but faded off of that almost immediately and just called it. I would like to blame this on being after a long day and in an empty gym, but the real reason I quit is that I got in my own head about beating Leah. Which is so dumb, for like 14 reasons. It's been so long since I've been able to compare my results to anyone else's and I wish I could say I don't care but apparently I do. (I got 47 calories in May).
