Training Log Archive: Spike

I got out the door after watching the live TDF coverage. Would have been better to get out earlier, but wasn't too terrible. I felt much better than I did yesterday.

When I got home I watched the Sweden-England soccer and then fixed my bike derailleur (after watching a youtube video).

Easy biking with Mary on the bike paths to/from Baker Wetlands' parking lot.

My rear derailleur wasn't shifting properly. Also, I was feeling overheated by the time we got home. When we got home, I crashed on the coach for 15 minutes before my body started feeling ok.

Later in the day I put on my cooling vest/shirt and watched some TV. That helped me feel better. I think I was a bit dehydrated, too. That didn't make things better.

We did some tourist stuff today. We went to the Natural History Museum at KU. I spent a bunch of time there when I was growing up. It was fun to see some of the old exhibits that I remember. We also went out to dinner at the fish restaurant in the 700-block of Mass. It was fine.

I got out the door reasonably early, but not as early as I'd planned. This is biking to/from the map I ran on + a little bit extra.

I ran the 4 point course from our last event at Lindley Hall. I then re-ran the other course, but took controls in the reverse order. Fun.

It was most fun when rain was falling. It was least fun when it was sunny. Fortunately, more rain and clouds than sun.

MTB on the wet bike paths. Most of the time I was on the LL, including along Baker Wetlands and the Burrough's Creek.

Cloudy the entire ride and raining for the first 70 minutes. It felt nice.

Biking over to Ulrik's Hill. Hot out there.

Shuffling around a bit, including up and down Half Ulrik's a few times.

Spent a few minutes on my lunch hour looking at the 2d Rerun map here:

I like how easy to read the map looks. The way the contours are drawn is really nice. I think that's common on Danish maps. I'm reminded of our local "Danish" map - West Campus as drawn by Ulrik.

The JWOC logo is pretty cool, too. I'm not sure Pink Socks would approve, but I like it.

Sprint on a little map of the KU campus (the area includes Lindley Hall and the engineering buildings). Mary printed the map at 1:2000. That was nice - made it easy to read the map at speed.

I worked registration wtih Cory. I wore my cooling vest while doing registration. It worked well - kept me comfortable. Being in the shade helped, too. I got started later than I'd have liked and skipped the warm up. I felt pretty good running. The course was fun.
