Circuits-4R: Had a bit of a scratchy throught last night so I made sure I got to bed on time. Speed ok during circuits but I wasn't really into it. Just did the workout. I hope I'm not getting sick; going to altitude with a cold would not be the most fun.

"Easy run; legs decent.

Row: Technique drills for 20 then row home. Almost sort-of approximately was able to square-blade row for a bit."

Steady row and nice water. Did 4x15-20 str starts. On the last one I maintained sub 1:40/500m for ~5 str.

"BOK-Lake Johnson.

Some real-O and some trail-line-O. Feel uncomfortable with running in forest and O. Maybe it's just the heat, thick forest and general yuckiness. At least there aren't any thorns."

East around NC State and Pullen Park. Would be a great place for a sprint.

BOK-Raven Rock State Park

An hour of actual O in the western part of the map. The rest was a trail run/line-O out to Raven Rock, the overlook and back to parking. The white of this map is very nice running and the lighter greens would be fine in the cooler months. My technique and concentration was a bit rough. The heat, vegatation and spider webs was a bit distracting; it didn't lend itself to aggressive route choice or running.

Warm and super humid. I couldn't run very hard as I would get too hot and sweating wasn't cooling me off. I never thought I'd be looking forward to getting back to Dallas in August.

In Raleigh for a SIAM conference.
BOK-Lake Johnson Map

Warm, humid and lots of spider webs. Feels like I haven't orienteered in weeks.

Around WRL. Warm and humid. Feeling low on energy. Heat? Stayed up to late? I don't really think it is training fatigue as I felt pretty good yesterday.

75 min and 13.9km -- longest row to date. Steady to end. Tired and I had to concentrate a bit more to keep from getting sloppy, but I wasn't struggling and stayed smooth. Stiff south wind required hiding in usual areas. Coming back from NW corner of lake and around Jackson Point was an adventure. Had to use full hands to control oars and eventually had to bail the cockpit -- my water bottles were floating. Successful test of bow light sea worthiness.

"Row: Nice morning. Easy. A little slow at first but after warming up for about 15min I had a little more energy.

Run: On TM w/ map. I'm feeeelin' miiighty slooooooow."

"Run: Tempo. 3 x LHNorth-inner, ~1050m. See note 2020-01-07. Compare to workout of 7/13/2005.
HR higher than planned; goal was to be more in the 160-165 range. On the otherhand, I'll take it as a good sign that I had the legs to get the HR up at all. I unintentionally did one less rep than last year. However, today's were much faster. All and all, I'd say it is a decent workout for July.
WU + 6x100strides.
loop #1: 3:47, HR:E=164, M=165, A=153. Rest for 2:23.
loop #2: 3:49, HR:E=167, M=168, A=158 Rest for 2:44.
loop #3: 3:48, HR:E=169, M=171, A=160.
Then CD.

Bike: One Landis loop (see note 2020-01-06) and one loop of WRL with Mathias and Ed. Some at average pace, some hammering, but very little easy. Can't stay with M for all the way to the top but it is fun trying. Good south wind so M and I motored on West Lauther. Really tired but it was fun."

"Easy run.

Row: Windy and arms/shoulders are tired. So I hid out along Garland Rd. and did technique drills."
