So Kendall and I did a extra large BIKE/RUN brick today. The bike was 40 minutes and the run (immediately - don't even try to breath and you're lucky if you get your hemlet off in time) was 5 miles. (Well, okay 4.8 miles because we were in a hurry.)
So here in HOTlanta we took off, and it was actually more pleasant than normal because of rain that was coming in. We did the bike without too much problem or incident....right Kendall? (She hates the bike!)
And then we ran. Well, Kendall had to major book it because she had to pick up her son from school. So we took off as fast as our lead legs would carry us. We ended up doing 4.8 in 40 minutes with 2 different 30 second or stops. We were dripping sweat. Honestly, I felt like had stepped out of the shower with out taking the time to dab and blot. (Does anyone really dab and blot - weird?)
But anway, we were disgusting. So Kendall takes off and I am at my sisters with Karen (another completely nut case when it comes to exercising) and Hayley who is training for the tri also. Karen gets bored waiting for Emily to get off the treadmill so she pops in a ChaLEAN abs video. Well, I have a choice, sit there and be completely exhausted - because I was - and watch and feel guilty while super-flat ab girls Karen and Hayley do there thing knowing my stomach is WWWWAAAYYYY pudgier. OOOOooooorrrr, I could join in. So I join in. YUCK! I thought I would puke. I burned way loads of calories this morning. I worked so hard I hardly said 10 words during our whole run. NOW THAT is unusual. I know you can hardly imagine that, but yes, I usually talk - a LOT.
But, here is my real question-
What burns more calories.....
.....80 minutes of cardio plus 17 minutes of extreme abs
OR
....trying to get that stinking, sweaty, sticky, roll-up-into-a-ball-over-your-chest-but-under-your-armpits-while-hopping-around-the-bathroom-in-hopes-that-some-way-that-will-dislodge-it-while-trying-not-to-panic-that-it-is-stuck-and-you-will-have-to-wear-it-like-this-forever-sports bra?
I think I just might go with the sports bra.
What about you?
