Wednesday night skating fun

General
Finally they did something a little bit different, only because they have a race comming up in duluth in a week, which I'm not attending this year.
They did a big pack skate, like 20 of us. We did 3 sets of 20 minute pack skates. But only thing is, it was a slow pace, about 20-25 kph. After the first set was done, me and 3 others decided not to take a break since that 20 minutes of pack skating didn't even begin to tire us out so for the 5 minutes, we charged with a 4 person pack at a higher pace until the pack came on again and continued on with another 20 minutes slow paced.
On the 3rd set, me and 2 others left the pack half way through and charged at a high pace again, one guy tried to pick it up even more but he ended up tiring out along with the other guy and left me alone, so I took it up to my pace 35-40 kph, lapped the pack, and decided to lap them again it took about 2km (6 laps) to lap them again. Thats when the 3 others jumped on again after I'm getting really tired, and I kept going with them out of will power, my legs were already screaming for rest. So I ended up prevailing after they got tired and finished the 20 minute set alone.
I tried to do my sprinting at the end of the night when the others were taking off their skates, my legs were done.
You know it was a good skating night when my body is exhausted and legs are screaming in pain. Not lke it hurts or anything, Its what I like.
