Blew up

Two things blew up today, my back tyre on my bike, and earlier this morning - me!

This morning I went down to Marley Park to secure a new PB for myself having done some good running since the last time I was in Marley. I was confident and edged out to the front of the start line. I shot off from the start and did 4:12 for the first km, which is WAY TOO FAST for me. I slowed for the second km but the damage was done - my heart was bursting out of my chest and I knew that even if I continued I would be under pressure towards the end of the race. I dropped out, dejected but more experienced now. Lesson learned.

Secondly I went to pick up Elaine's car In Houston. While powering down along the quays I hit a shitty section of road and PUFF! I knew instantly my back tyre was punctured - disaster.
