My normal 1.25-mile drive to the gym turned into a 10-mile congested 20-minute clusterfuck thanks to road construction. I was hoping that meant an empty gym. Instead, everyone decided that would be the ideal place to hunker down for the evening. I spent more time waiting for racks/machines than I did working out. 80 minutes for the above workout.
