Training Log Archive: j-man

Level 10 hills. 11 something miles. Started at level 12 but after 8 minutes thought it was putting too much stress on legs--but, I think biking is decent for hamstrings, so probably not a worry.

Level 6 hills. Legs were quite tired. Only 405 calories or so.

Event: DVOA - Ridley Creek
 

Another glorious and relevant word today!

Yea: peripeteia.

In my state of ignorance, I would have guessed that meant condition of walking around. If only! In truth, it is much more applicable to my condition.

I encountered peripeteia on 10/28. Was this anagnorisis? Perhaps... that is an interesting question....

Control hanging and vetting. More than 1 hour, but I will take credit for an hour today and tomorrow as there was a lot of downtime.

13601 meters. Decided to do this at paddle pressure +. Assiduously kept it at 20 SPM (sometimes 19). It was very easy through 30 minutes, but I also pulled slightly harder. Ergs are evil things, so tempting.

TNT. Managed to convince Dasha to run with me and she stayed for 50 minutes of running around the track. Tom and Eric were there, too. Tom was too fast!

Level 6 cross training.

425 calories.

TNT. Ran down to the bridge with Jim at very easy pace (28ish?). Karl turned around at 2.5 miles.

Dasha found us on the way back, and Jim and I went back with her.

GregA cam to TNT but he had to run by himself. I was in no shape to try to run at his speed.

Walking up the hill (very slowly) with Dasha, I got a pretty severe (cramp?) in the left achilles/calf. It subsided in a bit, but seriously--what is that about?

I'm falling apart. Time to hang it up and start racing against GregB in M45 or whatever category he wants to have a go at.

Sandy and I printed (a lot) of Ridley maps until midnight. If no one comes, I will sell them as art.
