Ok, so for a quick review...
i ended up with just under 150 miles... dont know exactly since the teacher took the board in because a HUGE dust devil was terrorizing the school, and even managed to pick up a kid and flipped him completely 5 feet in the air. The first hour i rode was great, as i said i rode 80 laps in the first hour, coming ahead of 3 road racers that ride everyday, and i hadent even gone for what i would consider a real ride in months!
Wel, the second shift wasnt so great, i got a really bad migraine, and i finally talked my old P.E. teacher to give me some tylenol which kicked in 10 minutes before our hour was up. I ended up with around 60 laps or so.
When i did this 2 years ago, i finished with 398 laps, so half a mile away from a century, or 100 miles.
This time, however, i did it with NO sleep whatsoever. I was kinda upset the last 3, 45 minute riding shifts we had. I was so tired, i just cruised the track at 10 MPH or less, and still managed 35-40 laps.
I also got yelled at, because there is a huge grass field, and me and my buddy went out there to make howling noises to scare the girls, well we didint know they followed us out there so we were all hanging out on the grass in the pitch black dark around 100 AM and then i pulled my phone out, and 5 minutes later the P.E. teacher i didnt have yelled at us and made us come back. THen some teacher was a biotch to me and said you cant do taht with girls here. So i said, Cant do what? I cant sit on the grass and talk to girls?
LOL she didnt like me, and even yelled at me this monring for no reason. She said SHE was tired from getting only 3 hours of sleep. I got ZERO sleep and rode for around 12 hours, and she had the nerve to tell me she was crabby from little sleep, and she only had to sit and observe basically.
No big deal, but i did what i set out to do, Beat my old record, make a couple new friends that happen to be 1-2 years younger than me, and Suffer.
