Well, 986 in one hour. It took another 2 min and 25 seconds to finish the 1000. I had an odd number, 9, to complete and I did a set of 10 to finish; so 1001 in one hour 2 min and 25 seconds. Not bad for a middle-aged physician.
No about performance enhancement. Of course I was tempted, but I stuck with the natural stuff. I was nauseous and achy in the two days before the event; I was afraid that I may have had to cancel. It was not pre-event jitters, I think that it was a mild case of viral gastroenteritis. (That’s what I get for taking care of sick people) So on the morning of the event I took two Tylenol and later two ibuprofen. I drank a venti non-fat mocha from starbucks and consumed two low-fat chocolate milks during the one-hour event. Thanks to everyone who supported me, and especially the lack of doubt of my abilities.
