I'm an idiot sometimes.
I went biking yesterday and was halfway on my way to finishing my 42mile workout when I realized how late it had gotten. I double-timed it for the last 21 miles. I was riding on the W & O trail here in VA and was riding through the woods . For about the last ten miles it was already pitch dark and I was flyingthrough the cold 9pm air.
Here's the problem:
1) I only carried one water bottle
2)about 3 miles down the road I had to fix tire and chain problems. [15min directly in the sun.]
2) The trail ended @ my 21st mile, so I just turned around. The problem is that the I had run out of water at mile 11, and therefore had to go for 10 miles without water. I did finally get water at the 21st mile and had a 15min in beather though.
3) I was flying on my way back(VERY VERY FAST) trying to beat the nightfall. I didn't however, and it was cold as hell to me because i had been riding in the sun earlier.
4) My lungs have been hurting since last night . I strain to take a DEEP breath and it hurts a little. The pain is going away drasticaly though.
<----probably going to bring a gallon of water with him last time.
EDIT :
Cliff notes:
1) dumbass went biking for 42miles in the hot sun and got seriously dehydrated. He still had to go 10 miles without water.
2) dumbass started riding late in the day, so he got caught ring in pitch black and the resulting cold
3) dumbass' lungs are in pain.
