If a "Brick" is when you do two activities back to back- like biking and running, than I think that last night's work out should really be a double brick. The workout called for a; 30min run, 60min bike; 30min run.

I accomplished a 28 minute run, 52 minute bike, 15 minute run. The second run was easier than I thought it was going to be, once I got into rythum of it.
