Training Log Archive: Sandy

Since I had to be at school today for something, and inspired by vmeyer and kissy, I decided to do a bit of swimming today. It's been many years (10?) since I swam laps, but this didn't feel too bad. I did hardly any kicking since it was easy to get careless and hurt my knee when I did and I could only push off from the ends of the pool with one leg, but besides that it felt okay. I decided I would just do 15 minutes and see how that felt for the first time. Managed to keep a steady pace breathing every other stroke and did either 20 or 22 lengths (lost track at one point).

Mile on the drive with Sandy, plus the hike down and up - in a very pleasant light drizzle. But have half a dozen mosquito bites!

I wonder if this is a way to get foreign mappers.

Another good yoga class by Joseph.

Bleah. Could not get it together to do anything today, not even my PT exercises which needed doing. Not good.

Hill repeats. The track is quite messed up as the splits were at the bottom and top and not where the track shows. There was a message that there was weak satellite coverage so I assume that's the reason. There was quite a bit a thunder and a little bit of rain while I was out - I never thought about it but I suppose storms can block coverage. Anyway, a good work out - about 5:00 to get down and 4:30 to get up each time. I got slower going down since the ground was wet so I was a little more careful on all the rocks.

With Sandy. We weren't feeling it this morning and walked some of the mile on the drive. Very crowded. It wasn't too hot yet but plenty humid.

Event: 2016 Icefields Parkway Orienteering Festival
 

I am a little sad that I didn't make it to Icefields but it just started feeling like too much effort to make it all work out.

Meadow loop at 100 walk/100 jog pace. I waited until after the thunderstorms went through so it wasn't too bad out.
