Plan was 5 one-mile repeats at Sugarhouse Park with 5 min active rest between each. I warmed up in my Vibrams along the outside perimeter, then started in the usual spot by the northeast corner. Unfortunately, by halfway through the second repeat, I was having GI trouble and needed a restroom. Even more unfortunately, Sugarhouse doesn't open its bathrooms until late (after 7 am). After checking all of the restrooms, I decided to try one more repeat and give the maintenance people until 7 to open up. By the end of the third repeat, I was dying, so I walked around waiting. When there was still no one in sight at 7:05, I gave up and went home. I need to plan better for this not-so-uncommon contingency in the future. Splits were 5:30, 5:29, and 5:24.
