Training Log Archive: Spike

Longish slow run on the trails at Clinton from the beach parking lot. I felt neither good nor bad, just sort of so-so. Breathing wasn't really good. I think that's from allergies.

I also saw a note that Ulrik won the DM (Danish Champs, I think) in Biathlon Orienteering. Add to that Jenny winning the relay district champs and it seems clear. Training in Lawrence is good preparation for European orienteers.

Work commute. I'd planned to do a short jog after work. But, I'm tired.

Work commute.

The trip home was about half dry and half very heavy rain and high wind. When I got home the power was out. I don't miss a lot about living in KC, but I do miss KCP&L. We have a lot more power outages with Westar.

A short jog in the rain on West Campus. I tried to keep an eye on the weather and made sure I was home before the thunder and lightning got closer.

Work commute. The heat is back. It can't be hot much longer, though.

Also, some more progress on my little mapping project:

Work commute. The rain was fairly heavy in the morning. It was also an difficult weather for gear. The temp was about 60. T-shirt and shorts would be a bit cold with the rain. Jacket and rain pants was a bit warm.

Grocery store run.

Pretty cool to see the D21 results for Uppland:

Work commute. This was the first day when I actually felt chilly. The temp stayed in the low 60s all day and if felt cooler later in the day. The trip home was in a light mist and short sleeves. It will feel very nice when I have to actually wear a jacket.

Slow jog on West Campus. I found a golf ball.

MTB on the river trails. I was downtown when I realized I'd left my helmet at home. I went back to get it since I didn't want to smash my head on a rock or a tree. The sandy trail was more sandy than the last time I biked it. The sandy stuff wasn't much fun. The rest of the trail was in good shape.

One of the things I like about riding the MTB is that I'm so bad at the technique that I seem to improve every time I ride. That's satisfying.

I had the map on my map board and read it now and then.

I need to get a new map holder (or maybe just a new map board for the current holder). I wonder if I can buy a decent map holder in the U.S.
