If you got to go, you must go

Don't quite know in which topic this fits but here it goes.

 

Yesterday, Sunday, I took part in the Urban Assault. Felt great and was in the first 3 rows on the starting line. Standing there I felt I needed a wee. I ignored it becasue I went just before I got to the line. So off we went, very fast and the leaders was just spitting distance from me. After about 10 minutes my heartrate shot up over 220, with 187 being my max, and i felt dead. I held back a bit but my HR did not want to drop. I tried to adjust the chest belt and looked around for power lines but there was nothing. I strugled like this for the next 50 minute with people passing me left, right and center. When we got to the top of the N14 I decided well it's now or never. Put my bike down and had the wee. Just there and then my HR dropped and I could go on as if I had the power of 10. I then pulled back many, many positions but ir was too late as there were 5km to go. Ended up 75th on the 30km race.

 

This is what my heartrate looked like.

At least you have got an excuse. I battled the whole 60km without a reason.
