Went out in Brenda's Minnesota II on Lake Margrethe. It was fun, though the 4x15 minute intervals are hard to maintain mentally. HR was lower than last time I did this - probably since I did it first rather than after a hard ride. I wasn't seeing any cardiac drift residue this time.

Ran into Steve out on the lake. He once was in the running for getting on the olympics for kayaking, so he knows his stuff. He gave me some great tips on my technique that I can now work on to improve my efficiency! Cool!

Ran from Brenda's house to Hanson hills and did an out-and-back on the outer loop with my MS-1 pack. I started out really struggling to get HR up for the first half hour. Would go hard on a hill and look down and see 153! What the heck? Also, felt like I was moving slowly. After about that half hour, I was able to finally feel like my legs were OK and ready to run and the HR started getting into the expected range. It's good when you feel like your run gets better as the miles go on. Distance was approximated based on watch's offset on trails since foot pod was dead. New batteries are ready to install.
