Your worst ever training Session ?

Hit an all time low yesterday.
I had 3 hours available and manged 12 miles, a chicken madras with rice (at a proper curry house not Weatherspoons) and half a Cobra.
I deserve everything I get on the Dragon Ride after that !
What's your worst ?

............just not for getting better on the bike :oops:
But a couple of weeks ago I set out to do a 4-5 hour ride, got about 45 min and realised I was totally gone - just cumulative fatigue from 10 days of decent training without enough rest. So, I pulled the plug on that one and headed home.
Having said that, this Sunday just gone, I set out to ride about 80 miles, and once I'd done that I forced myself to push on for another 20 to get the ton. Can't say it was pleasant though, being out for about 6.5 hours in that heat!
That pretty well sucked.

Whilst they were asleep, I started a turbo sesssion. One of the dogs decided it wanted a cuddle and pulled up against the bike without me seeing.
His tail got trapped in the chainset, with much yelping!
You didn't stop did you...?
I know someone who went to close the lounge door one time... It appeared to be sticking, so she gave it the big shove... The door slammed shut, swiftly followed the the scream of a little kitten (she'd just got two!), looking down she saw the other half of it's tail :shock:
Kitten soon recovered... Took a while for her to stop throwing up, though.
Year before last. Got DVT.

Shocking... :oops:
I do 12 hour shifts, and just did 7 x 5 mins intervals, with 2 min Recovery...
MTFU!...

Last year, pedaling home after a night shift - tried to do 5X5min intervals - I just couldn't get HR up into the L4 zone. It was a 12hour night shift and I was totaly knackered. Gave up whilst attempting the 2nd interval....
Shocking...

Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!
I am 50 tho - so that's my excuse.....
Ah, ok mate, I'll concede that point, as I'm only 48!
And did 7x5's last night, too
.....you youngsters.....!
however, the other day I did a 'pyramid' of intervals, 1/2/3/5/8/10mins effort with half that as recovery. That was a killer, but it is a good workout - but not after a nightshift javascript:emoticon(':)')
Made it 45 minutes and then everything seized up. Hit the wall epically, and took me an hour and a half to get back, where I promptly collapsed.
Fun times.
