3:44.  Significant coughing post-wod all through the evening.  Walked across street from hotel to CVS where I purchased some sleep-aid, cough suppressant. It only seemed to make it worse, as I woke up several times in the middle of the night with coughing fits.  Able to quickly fall back asleep. 

Cool down 25 minutes on air dyne  

Sleep ~9p-6a

Saturday AM
7 minute AMRAP of
7 thrusters @ 53#
4 pull-ups
135 reps
All UB sets & good rhythm on pull-ups.  Too slow to get back to the bar especially after Max called the 2 minute mark (as in 5 minutes to go) & I was expecting to be closer to half way.  Need to change my mindset.  I was fine, but hurting more than I'm used to & need to get excited about how much time I have left to knock out reps instead of dreading how much time is remaining.  

PM
100m 90# prowler push for time 42s Tried to go aggressive but not full out from the start & press the whole way through.  Was expecting burning/"hurt" to set in much sooner, but it wasn't bad.  Got tough the last 10-20m but still able to move through. 

~40-60 minutes

3 sets of:
Airdyne for max distance
rest 1 min
Was nervous for this one, but got myself mentally in a good place beforehand.  Just looked at it as "3 minutes of work".  Had my eyes closed for probably 58-59 of the 60s for each set.  Just tried to focus in & plug.  Tried to keep my energy in close & tight vs the tendency to start rocking torso/head all over the place.  
Results in miles: .42, .37, .39
The after effect was something I have never experienced.  My quads were burning like crazy the last 20-30s on the final minute & had to stand up off the seat the last 10-15s to keep anything going.  When I got off the bike the burning in my quads seemed to increase over the next 2-3 minutes.  I kept moving around, but it was definitely intense.  Good times.  

Coughing continued post airdyne. 

Sunday 9/9/12
Night time coughing fits.  Ugh.
