another FREAKING flat tire

I'm PISSED.

And I just don't get it ... I put brand new Continental Ultra Sports on my Fulcrum Racing 7s and last night, for the second time in a month, I flatted. Was so mad I didn't even bother messing with it last night, so I don't know what caused it, but I'm assuming a pinch flat.

Was doing 10 miles of intervals, had just completed two sets, and I know during the second set as I was suffering I rolled over something that jarred me pretty good, but I didn't think anything of it. Felt ok so I was going to do a third set and after my first interval, during recovery, I was taking a turn and felt the back tire being squishy. I sat up and looked, bounced a little and sure enough, it was going flat.

I swapped out the tube, limped home but seriously, this is ridiculous.

I bought the tires at REI, so I'm contemplating taking them back. I know I'm a big guy, we're harder on tires, etc ... but it took me more than a thousand miles and a camoflagued nail to flat on my stock Bontrager tires. Something isn't adding up
