There is something seriously freaky going on with my eyes today. (What is it with people and their eye problems? Jen, Melanie, now me?) I was mega-tired this morning — last night’s 18-mile bike plus 2-mile run left me completely wiped. My eyes looked tired as well, and when I put in my contacts, they stung a bit and felt a little dry. Still, everything was ok until I started driving to work in the bright summer sunshine. Suddenly, tears were streaming down my cheeks and I could barely keep my eyes open through the stinging. I wasn’t sure if I could even drive the rest of the way to work, so I stopped at Starbucks thinking the shade of the drive-thru might help. It did, so I decided to go the rest of the way to the office, but the sun made me start tearing up again.
I did make it in to work, but my eyes are still feeling all sorts of wacked out, and I have no glasses. If they don’t get better, I’m going to make someone drive me home at lunch so I can retrieve my glasses.
Craziness.
Anyway, last night I did the 18 miles in 1:03:45, took 2 minutes to get my shoes on and drink some water, and did the 2 mile run in 22:48 with only two short walk breaks. My legs felt like dead weight for most of the first mile. Overall, not too shabby.
Nice job! Either one of those sessions are considered a tough workout to me, much less both of them back to back.
Nice workout. Keep us posted on the eye leak. Hope it gets beter.
Good workout, Becky. Ahhh, feel the burn of the run after the bike. Bricks suck, er, rock!
Things happen in threes. No more eye leaks. You are the last leaker.
holy crap. i think i would fall down after bike riding for 18 then having to transition to a run for 2 more miles. way to go!
