Training Log Archive: Spike

Event: Gateway Grunt III
 

Jogging to warm up. Once I started my heart rate didn't get below 147 despite the light effort. I guess that's the lingering illness.

SLOC red at S-F. Super fun/pleasant terrain and an interesting course. As planned, I ran Pasi-style. That cost me a little on a couple of legs at the end where there wasn't much to read on the map and I had a bit of zig zagging.

See twitter for the course. I'll scan it later.

C • Pasi style... 2

Red - Splits

Travel most of the way to the SLOC meet. We got the OUSA discount at Motel 6.

Work commute. The temp was in the mid 60s when I went to work and nearly 80 for the trip home. Downtown was still crowded with people after the parade. I encountered a lot of bad drivers on my trip home.

Row, row.

Then laundry, laundry.

Then pack, pack.

Work commute. Pleasant weather today.

A very short technique session on the base map (contours + lidar lutning image) of the neighborhood and Holcolm. Except for one brief coughing fit, I felt pretty good.

My O' technique was sloppy. I was orienteering passively - just heading in the right direction and checking off features. I'll need to fix that for the weekend.

C • What specifically do you se... 17

Work commute. Mary declared that I was "almost normal" today. I'll still got a bit of a cough and some junk in my lungs, but she's probably right. I'll do an easy run tomorrow.

I planned to do a little exercise today. I figured biking to/from work would be enough to see how I felt, but not so much that if I didn't feel ok I'd suffer.

When I woke up there was an inch of snow on the roads and snow falling. I decided not to bike to work.

After work I did a "row, row" session. I took it easy, but worked harder as I went and by the end was actually working up a sweat. When I stopped I had trouble breathing and coughed and hacked for a half an hour.

Mary and I went for a hike on a bit of the Rockcrusher base map and then on some of the trails west of the current base map. It was just the right amount of work for me today.
