I didn't mention this originally because it doesn't matter to me (dropped is dropped) but there were two women in the group. It just gets better!

My heartrate was pegged, and I knew I was in trouble when we stayed above 20 for any of the inclines. I did everything I could to not yo-yo the wheel in front of me (who was spinning along at 110rpms or more. Just
sick), and I just popped. Not having my computer wouldn't have changed that, but I do see your point. It was along the lines of "holy crap I'm working hard [glance down]
27! No F$%(*&ING wonder!"
ahh, it'll be funny to recount it next week with those guys--if they remember that I was out there
