Went for a very nice bike in Ertemarka. Then, at the furthest point out, my rear derailleur cable snapped. And of course it was in the hardest gear, and of course I didn't bring my bike-tool.
So had to hike the bike out of the single tracks to the nearest gravel road, then slogged it the 20km home with three gears (two really, as one was too tough to use on anything but downhill paved road).

So now I have an ankle that doesn't like running. A crippled bike. And no car keys (long story...)
Lucky the lakes might be warm enough to swim in soon?

Saw the dr today. Best guess is that my daily aspirin is starting to irritate my stomach. Waiting on blood tests to see if they show anything.

Intervals on the ellipse. 18min Wu, 8x3min with 1min easy between, and then WD.

Finishing off marking and clearing the line. Slightly less jungle. Slightly larger cliffs.

Just quietly, this job was meant to have been done by someone else while I was on leave last week... :/

Home and straight out biking. Quickly felt like crap, same kind of thing as the Jukola test race 2.5weeks ago. HR monitor was going crazy, but I think that was a separate issue (still gets me very nervous though). Gave up on a full session and went home.

Back to BS fieldwork logging. A half day orienteering between GPS points, setting up a string course between them and then clearing all the jungle from the line so the 'kids' can get through with the cables next week.
Took us 2hrs to get through 200m of particularly nice vegetation.
