 yes, Im not joking. This day was horrible...


 so what happened today:
    - actually I just had one thing planned: biking to Leipzig and back in one day
        - Reason why I wanted to do this: get some km at the challenge, cause of my poor performance so far
        - but it went horribly wrong
        - I started at around 7 am
        - first bad thing happened after around 90 min:
            - while driving I tried to unpack an energy bar for what I had to take of my gloves
            - and while that, I probably lost one (its not that bad, but still annoying

        - but this was the point where my motivation went slowly down the hill, although the weather was   
           great for the next hour
        - I even discovered this new podcast for me: "gemischtes Hack" - a German comedy podcast
            - oh its sooo great, one of the best podcasts ever for me

        - after around two hours I knew I wouldn't make it to Leipzig (140km too much), but this didnt 
            bother me really. My goal was to collect some km and I turned around after 100km
        - which was a really good decision because:
            - 200km is also really good for me personally
            - my legs were slowly but surely deciding to resist my brains commands to continue cycling
            - but here it comes: I obviously got a flat tire, around 30km before the finish line
        - so I had to call someone to pick me up, who luckily had time for that
        - I walked for a couple km until I noticed some kind of cramp in my left leg
        - walking got harder and harder with every step but I didnt wanted to stop

        - On my way another biker passed me, stopped and offered me his help!
            - Im so thankful for this man ❤️
            - got to fix my tire

        - So I swung back on my bike, but the moment I made the first moves the pain got more intense
        - so intense, that I wasn't able to walk anymore --> so skin painful

        - I guess I need to make more breaks (30min on an 8 hours ride is too less)

        - Luckily I got picked up around 20 min after that. I got back home but the pain was still there

        - I can barely move my leg, so im just lying in bed resting, watching videos
        - Even got headache from the pain



In conclusion: not worth it! So exhausted now, can't even plan my next day 


what im thankful for today:

    - my cousin for picking me up
    - this random kind biker for his help
