Training Log Archive: Mr Wonderful

It was fun watching Rupp win the trials. Not bad for a debut.

Also, I found it: the pinckney map. The advertised as ~8 km that was really more like 10 km. I think I took 3 something, and Igor had me by an hour something. Will be fun to rerun it when that's a good idea.

I noticed this morning that the dull shin throb is currently absent.

Billing bike trainer @ 12 mph because who wants to move the sensor again.

This session was required to make room for popcorn for Deadpool in a couple hours.

I need a project for robot class. But since we are in the business of estimating robot states, rather than building robots, my initial idea is using robot localization to create a canoe o cheat bot, where using the estimation techniques and bearing and distance estimates, determine location, and then compare them to "truth" in the form of GPS. It would be a good test since control inputs (strokes) would be extremely noisy, as would crude measurements, which would stress the estimators.

It is appealing because then I have to take my canoe out. But I can't come up with a reasonable way to measure distance at the ranges of say, Kent Lake. So I may need another idea. I thought about walking a trail, but then I have to go flat because I'm not sophisticated enough to figure out the elevation factor - canoe keeps it 2D. Maybe bike would also work. This is a perfect thing to do at something like an NSF Adventures, since walking a creek bed and then getting the spur/gully contrasts would work, with little to no influence from the measurer's elevation. Do we have any similar canyons here? Peach Mountain is a spine, rather than a valley....Maybe a bowl chain like at some of the local parks would work, then try to contour it to remove elevation issues. (There's a spot at Highland maybe).

+shin exercises. I forgot to recharge my ice pack for last night, so hopefully it'll be frozen for today.

I should also watch the weather more, as xc skis would be appropriate for Saginaw today.

Playing around with "what's the longest non trivial leg I could make up at PLRA?", I ended up with a 5c, 7.1km course at PLRA that offers massive route choice and has some decent navigation, without dog legs.

I would think it's hilarious and awesome to get that at the start. Not sure all of the customers would, so perhaps I'll work on something more conventional...

pushups, squats (maybe more deadlifts, anyway, sit down, stand up, with dumbbells), situps, military press, curls

Found more bike stuff, although not without finding a cutting tool in one box. Two band aids. Also, not sure about axle nuts for orange bike...have to figure out what and order some. I need to get outside.

Bike shoes were used for mouse good storage, but seem okay. :/
