Aurora safety vehicle built in 1957. Yes, ugly, but so am I. Both are one of a kind.

On happier topics - bicycle addiction - I signed up for Zwift Academy this year, figuring I could use some structure in my training. Hoo boy. The baseline ride went pretty well - 3 segments mixed in with about an hour long ride: a 2 minute climb, a 25 second sprint, and a 10 minute climb. I did pretty well, surprised myself by managing 25 seconds at an average of 821w in the sprint. So I was feeling pretty darn good about myself.
Then I did the first workout - VO2max Over/Unders. 3 intervals of 2' at 300w, 1' at 245w, 1' at 300w, 2' at 245w. Managed the first one, but halfway through the second, I thought I was gonna die! Maybe I went too hard on the previous days IRL ride, but I can tell you that 1 1/2 out of 3 intervals left me - well, not shattered, exactly, but certainly showing a number of cracks.
Maybe I'm too old for this stuff? Or too wimpy.

On Labour Day we stopped at a restaurant in Xenia, Dumbdumb Land. They must have had workers off, because a waiter was literally running around. No surprise they screwed up everyone's order.
Anyway, on leaving there was a Saturn in the lot. Apart from a dent in the hood, it was in great condition. I almost took a picture of it, but chickened out at the thought of people seeing me.

Was there rest in between? I'm assuming so, and if so, give yourself some more rest time. The object is to do the hard part, even if there's a little more rest in between. Next time, you'll know what you're in for and you can cut the rest down. Work into it. Based on what you did in the test, this should be doable in a few sessions.

There are still lots of Saturns on the road. As long as you keep an eye on the oil level, they have a reputation for lasting almost forever. In the North we have a problem with underbody rusting, I am not sophisticated enough to assess my underbody but so far the car is holding up and it's only got 190K miles. People in saturnforums like to brag about reaching certain milestones like 300K and 500K, so my car is only middle-aged by their metrics.

I'm not that old.
Speaking of not old, my 2012 Tacoma has 60k garaged miles. Wife says I have to give it up when the kid starts driving. Makes me sad. It would last forever otherwise.

Despite recent sales, I bought my Justin Fields jersey immediately after the draft. Went with orange.

Felt pretty good on my toodling around ride today so figured I'd go for 3x5 pullups.
I wasn't feeling that good though, ended up doing 5-5-2
