At first I had a very specific goal...beat Alex. I went after this goal with great enthusiasm for about 11 minutes. My goal was adjusted a bit after that with quite a bit of self talk, "Well, he's younger, he's stronger than me, he had a better lunch, Obama is ruining the economy..." there were all kinds of reasons that my beat Alex goal was reduced to don't let him beat me by much. Another 5 minutes into the workout I thought that even if he beat me by a lot nobody would likely make a big deal out of it by putting an ad in the paper or anything like that...not too many people would know. You go Alex, I'll just be happy to finish. At 21 minutes into the workout I announced my reduced goals as they had descended from beating Alex to I hope I can finish this workout and then finally to I hope I don't die. But I wasn't at the bottom yet. At 35 minutes I was hoping for a 747 engine to fall through the roof and make us all stop. Killer B's is not for the timid. Steve was hoping for a heart attack. We all have our own coping mechanisms.
