6/13 1.5 hour indoor ride at TCS

Since I was still waking up at 4am, I decided to do my ride indoors at Train Chicago Studios before work.  I hoped that they'd get there about 6am so I could start early, but I ended up sitting outside with my bike until about 6:15am and waiting until Jean got there.  No worries anyway, no one was riding with me, so I got in my 1.5 hours by riding a relatively flat course (Bike the Drive, Chicago) and doing my intervals.

After I finished up, I showered and got ready at TCS.  When I was done, the bike room was locked up... with my bike in it!  I ran around trying to find someone who had a key, but no one else did.  That really wasn't a big deal; I went to work and figured I'd get in touch with someone to schedule a pick up after work.

That was the ordeal... it was next to impossible to get a hold of anyone to get my bike sorted out. Eventually, it did work out in the end, and I was able to get it after work.

My second workout of the day was supposed to be an hour run.  By the time I got home, put away my bike and got dressed for my run, I was having some stomach cramping.  I told Michael I was going to lay down for a few minutes before I left.  I basically slept from 6pm to 6am the following day.  He said he came in twice:  once with dinner that I shooed away and secondly trying to help me take off my shoes, etc.  Well, apparently, I didn't want to be bothered!  I slept in my shoes, jog bra, heart rate strap (!!) and all until the next morning!

I guess that helped me get back to normal from jet-lag though!!
