I'm not sure of your point, but I appreciate the koan.

I hope you can walk and chew gum. If you are listening to the radio in the car and you have to slam on breaks because someone cut you off, weren’t you thinking about the traffic at some level of consciousness, while still listening to the radio? Perhaps you’re not in tuned to the multiple levels of your mind.

Your example of putting your focus on the physics of how you were performing only allowed a different part of the brain to deal with the pain in your legs. Perhaps that was more beneficial for you, perhaps not. It all depends on how you are prepared with previous training. I personally have been trained quite successfully to efficiently moisturize my eyes completely subconsciously, with my blinking.
