Tempo ride is hard on your lungs

Yesterday I punished my lungs by riding a 10K tempo. 

This meant that I got myself involved with a first bike "race" for the first time in my entire athletic career which started in 1984. This novel experience was fulfilled with lactic acid and a painful feeling in the lungs. To be honest, I haven't punished my aerobic engine this hard for years, and therefore, the feeling following the tempo ride was awesome. When I returned home after one hour cool down bike ride, I did a quick change and ran 3K in 12 minutes just get my legs used to this bike to run transformation. Then I focused on eating.
