MTB Orienteering 1:00:00 [1] ***
17c
MTBO practice on the roads. This was actually two courses, one on the way out of town and another one back home.
MTB cycling 2:00:00 [1]
MTB on roads - a mix of paved and gravel. I went towards Lakeview and Lecompton. I met a scary dog near Lakeview and changed my route a bit.
I felt a lot better on today's long-ish ride than I did last weekend. I think most of that is the weather. Today was mid 70s and cloudy (even a few sprinkles of rain), last week was more like mid 80s and sunny. The weather helped, but I must also be getting into a little bit better biking shape.

Jogging on West Campus.
Today I simulated my one search-and-rescue effort at TJOC. I jogged around pretty sure there was no chance that I'd find any lost people. It was just like TJOC.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Work commute.
One of the things about TJOC is that the weather is usually miserably hot and humid, BUT in my experience there is an occational training session in a rain storm.
Today's TJOC simulation featured biking to work in a wonderfully cool rain. By the time I reached work, I was soaked. But I was comfortable. The trip home was more like a normal TJOC day - sunny, hot, humid. A headwind, too.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Work commute. It was hot on the way home.
rowing 30:00 [1]
Row, row, row.
Since TJOC is going on this week, I'm going to do something TJOC-like every day. Today was a bonus. I did 3 things. First, I suffered in the heat and humidity on the way home. Second, I used the erg...which is sort of like talking with iamstillhungry. Third, I checked my shoes for scorpions before putting them on.

When I got home I was hot and sweaty. It was almost like a little taste of TJOC. Then I mowed.

MTBO on roads and the levee with an Open Orieteering Map. Fun.
MTB cycling 2:15:00 [1]
The rest of a long-ish ride on roads, gravel and the levee. I probably should have left the house an hour or hour and a half earlier. The heat and humid was a bit of a chore.
I felt pretty good, but ended up feeling really tired the last 20 minutes or so. I pedaled up the grass hill from Potters to the back of Snow Hall. That wore me out.
The river is high, but a good 3+ feet lower than it was on Friday.
