I was gunning for six laps (36 miles) but began to have some extreme cramps going up the steep hills on the 4th and 5th time. There&#8217;s this hill that is not so steep but it takes a while to get over that obstacle. At the 5th time, I said to myself, &#8220;No more of this&#8221; and completed the lap. I do have a bike but I can&#8217;t fit it in my Ford Focus. I had to rent a bike and they all were a bright blue color. I bet I looked like a douchebag riding this bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my regrets was not bringing the sunblock and taking a 6-mile walk on the mostly non-shade trail. I got sunburned big time and I&#8217;m more Red than Red. Listening to the Reason Roundtable podcast at home (a rare occasion), I&#8217;m off of work until the 29th of August.
